The project aims at digitally recording and safeguarding part of the immaterial cultural heritage of the Dogon in Mali, the baja ni, a major song cycle that forms an integral part of the funeral complex. The Dutch principal investigator, who has been studying baja ni performances since 1980, has collected many hours of recordings, and has recently prepared a manuscript text which, together with the recordings, will serve as the starting point for this project. Due to Islamization and Christianisation, traditional funerals are becoming rarer, and the transmission of the baja ni is in peril. The current jihadist troubles present an immediate and even violent threat to this heritage. The songs are attributed to a blind Dogon poet/prophet, Abirè, probably from the 19th century, who also delivered a string of prophecies on the area. The aim of the project is first to widen the empirical knowledge on the prophetic song cycle, and to further analyse and contextualise the performances. Second, the recordings will be digitalized in such a way that they become accessible to the Dogon themselves, set in a digital framework which contextualizes the songs inside their material setting. Third, the goal is to initiate processes and institutions that may keep the heritage alive, independent of traditional funerals. Research activities on the ground will be done by Dogon researchers, guided by the consortium which is based in Leiden, London and Paris. Project partners in Mali are the National Museum in Bamako, the UNESCO office in Mali and Ginna Dogon, the association that represents the Dogon in cultural matters.

该项目旨在以数字方式记录和保护马里多贡人的部分非物质文化遗产-baja ni，这是一个主要的歌曲周期，是葬礼建筑群的一个组成部分。荷兰首席研究员自1980年以来一直在研究巴哈尼表演，收集了许多小时的录音，最近准备了一份手稿文本，连同录音，将作为这个项目的起点。由于伊斯兰化和基督教化，传统的葬礼越来越少，巴哈尼的传播也面临危险。目前的圣战麻烦对这一遗产构成了直接甚至暴力的威胁。这些歌曲被认为是一位盲人多贡诗人/先知Abirè的作品，可能来自世纪，他也对该地区发表了一系列预言。该项目的目的首先是扩大对预言歌曲周期的经验知识，并进一步分析和背景化的表演。第二，录音将被数字化，这样多贡人就可以接触到这些录音，并将其置于一个数字框架中，将歌曲置于其材料环境中。第三，目标是启动可能使遗产保持活力的程序和机构，而不受传统葬礼的影响。实地研究活动将由多贡研究人员在总部设在莱顿、伦敦和巴黎的联合会的指导下进行。在马里的项目伙伴是巴马科国家博物馆、教科文组织马里办事处和在文化事务中代表多贡人的协会Ginna Dogon。关键词：非物质遗产，多贡，马里，歌曲，先知
