Smithsonian Folkways has just announced the reissue of the Unesco Traditional Music Collection. Here's the blurb. "Smithsonian Folkways Gives New Life to the UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music Starting April 29 The UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music, a pioneering effort to make the world's musical heritage more widely known and appreciated, takes on new life starting April 29 with the release of more than 100 albums, including 12 previously unreleased recordings, spanning more than 70 nations. Two albums will be released each week for more than a year, and will be available on CD, digital download, streaming services, and by library subscription." For anyone interested in ethnic music, this is wonderful news, although it does mean I'll be skint for the next twelve months. For sound samples Click Here .
