Most of the remaining sound (items 31-118) are recordings of Raimundo Roberto, a Canela elder who describes village life between January 1970 and December 1973. Also included are recordings of dance and song from various Canela festivals and ritual ceremonies including the Fish Festival (1964, items 3-8); Khêêtuwayê Festival in the village of Sardinha (1959, items 17-19 and 1966, item 10); Pepgahäk Festival in Barro do Corda (1970, items 11-15); and Pepgahäk ritual ceremonies (1959, items 23-26). There are several other Canela recordings of songs, dances and unnamed festivals. Most of the sound recordings are of the Ramkokamekra-Canela (which are designated "R-Canela" in their titles); one sound recording (item 9) is of the Apanyekra-Canela ("A-Canela").

CDR copy FW-ASCH-7RR-0746, is contained in a solid black tape box, which often means that it was used to produce a Folkways LP; however, I can find no corresponding LP. There is no documentation other than what is stated on the recording intself, except for the title "Rain Forest". And "1st, 2nd , 3rd and 4th handwritten on the box. The recording contains many animal sounds - largely birds, but also insects, frogs and a buffalo, etc. Spoken introductions usually just state the track or cut number, although several are more extensive. One states that the track was recorded on Ceylon; another states that the track was recorded "near Indonesia," while another mentions the Ucayali river, which is in Peru. Although Folkways issued an album entitled "Sounds of a tropical rain forest" (FW06120) intended to accompany an exhibit on Indians of Peru, it was actually recorded in a Zoo and on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Therefore, there seems to be no link to the Folkways recording and this tape.
