Women Singers in Darfur, Sudan Republic Roxane Connick Carlisle It is the purpose of this paper to uncover the important role of women as poets and transmitters of historical traditions among three tribal groups of Darfur Province, Sudan Republic. The evidence is based upon fieldwork carried out in Darfur January 1967 to May 1968, during which personal observations, translations of song texts and other information elicited from Sudanese informants were supplemented by tape recording women’s songs among the Zaghawi, Fur and Beni Helba Baggara. Darfur is the westernmost and historically the least accessible province of the Sudan Republic. The terms "Darfur” and "Sudan” both mean "Country of the blacks” (Arkell 1961:214). The name Fur was given by the early conquering Berber Sultans to the autochthonous negroid mountaineers who inhabited the region. Later, as the Berber Muslim rulers intermarried, they too took the appellation of their black subjects, the Fur (Arkell 1961). The Fur still represent the most numerous people of Darfur, living as cultivators and hunters in the central region of Jebel Marra. A succession of Fur Sultans based their capitals over many centuries close to the mountains of central Darfur and a Fur Sultan ruled the region until well into this century, but it is not the country of the Fur alone, and other peoples occupy other parts of the land. To the north, in regions of progressively lower rainfall, the area is occu pied by the Zaghawi, a camel-herding, nomadic people, whose Berber ancestors came from the north and west, conquering the sedentary negroid population across what is now Chad and establishing themselves in Bornu (Fage 1955), My friends among the people of Darfur deserve special thanks for their un flagging help and cooperation throughout the field periods of 1967 and 1968. In addi tion I would like to thank those Sudanese government officials in Khartoum from the ministries of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Information and Local Government who severally bestowed their permission which enabled me to travel freely throughout Darfur for pur poses of ethnomusicological research.
