Recordist's notes

Djib means Hyena in amharic. This recording is devided in four parts. The three first ones are taken from the window of the hotel tewodros, facing the empty lot/waste land (middle of the night, people and spring/sewer). at night hyenas are wandering in the city and shout, sometimes, lough, rarely. it was not possible to catch all of it in one recording. but those 4 are from the same night and certainly same group of hyenas. The last one was taken in the really late night (rooster, locusts) from outside the hotel. they don't laugh so often...
