Ocora also is a word from the language of the Timucuan people who once inhabited Florida USA, meaning "place of gathering." On April 14, 1962, SORAFOM became the Office de coopération radiophonique (OCORA), whose members became advisors. On January 1, 1969 OCORA was absorbed by ORTF. Charles Duvelle, who had created and directed the prestigious OCORA collection (records of traditional world music) since 1960, integrated it into the musical services of the DAEC (Direction des affaires extérieures et de la coopération), which he was newly in charge of within ORTF.[2]
