Abstract	"Kanobo Arokohotu is the centerpiece of the pleading ceremony for the children of the Waraowitu community directed to the Kanobo Araobo, the 'Supreme Spirit', at the time of the onsetting rainy season when a high percentage of them dies of intestinal illness. This chant is also called wahi arokohotu, the 'song of the howler monkey', as an expression of Warao gerontocracy. It is at the same time the Nahanamu sago ritual, the principal festivity of the Waraowitu or 'true Warao' of the Central Orinoco Delta, during which they distribute sago starch, which is their main diet. The narrative is the spontaneous performance by the wellknown Winikina bahanarotu-shaman Antonio Lorenzano 'Idamo Kabuka', told in November 1977 and transcribed/translated by Heinen together with two grandsons of the former, Tirso and Segund Rivero. It is the first native report by a knowledgeable Warao shaman and headman and an authentic expression of the 'Marsh People's' aboriginal religiosity." (author's abstract).
