Bangka (take 2).
In the Philippines, Bangka is a small outrigger boat used by people for fishing
Here, I’m travelling in one of these small boats with a young cute girl (7 years old) who’s sitting in front of me and laughing some times when the waves splash on the boat, while her father is driving on the back.
Please note that I pointed the recorder to the right outrigger of the bangka, so that one can hear the water on it, while the little girl on the front faces to the left microphone, and her father and the motor of the boat face to the right mic.
At the end of the recording (#3:58), as we’re approaching the shore, the man turns off the engine and says in Tagalog language : ‘’There are big waves over there.’’.
Recorded in August 2025 with a Zoom H5studio (built-in XY microphones).
Fade in/out applied in Audacity.
