about

We met Maria Amelia Barca on the boat trip down the Amazon. She was 80 years old and returning home to her family in Iquitos after visiting other family in Lima. She has seen me wandering about the boat with my digital recorder and was fascinated by this little machine that could capture sounds so easily and effectively. She asked if she could sing some songs for me because she herself wanted to listen back to them. After recording these songs it was difficult to retain possession of my recorder as she wanted to listen again and again and again...
