Description Hans Fischer was formerly Director of the Museum für Völkerkunde and Professor of Socio-cultural anthropology (Ethnologie), University of Hamburg. He began fieldwork in New Guinea in 1958 in villages the lower Watut River and among the Anga-speaking Jeghuje on the Banir River.

The recordings in the collection were made in 1958, 1965 and 1971/72.
