GUEST,MB | Some new Youtube vids (52* d) | RE: Some new Youtube vids | 21 Jul 10 |
We so rarely get to hear what traditional music sounded like in its original context. The field recordings that are our only tangible record of the era were made by ethnomusicologists who sought out the best singers in any given region. But the songs were sung by everyone in the culture, and most of them were probably no more able to carry a tune than the average performer on karaoke night. These Youtube videos are a valuable addition to the historical record. |
