Music of the Ituri Forest Recorded in the 1950s by prominent cultural anthropologist Colin Turnbull, Music of the Ituri Forest is a study in the lives and traditions of the BaMbuti, a nomadic people from the Ituri Forest of northeastern Congo.

Each individual in a group sings one or two notes that, in circulation, build into melodies and harmonies. Instruments such as the likembe (thumb piano) accompany solo voice, while the mgungu gong (slit gong) helps ground mounting call-and-response choruses. CNRSMH_E_1965_001_023

Religious of Asia
«De l’Inde à Taiwan, des chants nus de l’islam à l’absence de chant dans le culte jaïniste, la musique et la prière dévotionnelles révèlent la diversité des traditions religieuses asiatiques. La continuité des pratiques religieuses asiatiques est également révélée, les rituels bouddhistes étant filtrés à travers les traditions musicales et les instruments des lieux jusqu’au Népal et en Chine. Accompagnés des bruits ambiants de la vie quotidienne, les enregistrements capturent la réalité et la vitalité des prières, des chants, des chants de dévotion, des processions et des célébrations qui caractérisent la pratique des religions asiatiques disparates.» (Cf. Site du Smithsonian Folways Recordings) CNRSMH_E_1969_018_006

Tunisia Volume 1 : The Classical Arab-Andalusian Music of Tunis Travail de terrain réalisé par Wolfgang Laade en 1960. Après la montée de l'islam au 7ème siècle, la musique arabe classique s'est développée dans les villes et plus tard dans les cours andalouses musulmanes (maures) de Séville, Grenade et Cordoue. À partir du XIIIe siècle, la reconquista chrétienne d'Espagne a conduit les musulmans en Afrique du Nord, où ces styles locaux ont pris racine. Wolfgang Laade explique dans ses notes liminaires que l'objectif de la musique de Tunis influencée par Séville et présentée ici est la reproduction exacte du répertoire traditionnel CNRSMH_E_1973_004_011

Folk Songs of Ontario This 1958 recording by Edith Fulton Fowke is a collection of folksongs from the province of Ontario sung by a myriad of traditional singers.

These stirring compositions cover everything from lumber-jacking to murdering to the married life. CNRSMH_E_1983_010_007

Hagadah : Yemenite Passover The Jewish holiday of Passover (Pesach) commemorates and celebrates the exodus of the Jews from ancient Egypt. During the traditional Passover meal, the family reads, chants, and sings from the Hagadah, a Seder “guidebook” first formally compiled in the Middle Ages. Every family has its own traditions, however, and this recording documents the Seder as it was celebrated in Jerusalem by a family of Yemenite Jews in the 1950s. Arabic influence is pronounced, and the Yemeni-Jewish Hagadah includes some sections and songs not found in European and American versions, particularly during the final segment of the service.

Kol Ha'shofar The Shofar, or ram’s horn, is one of the world’s oldest musical instruments with multiple mentions in the Old Testament. The Jewish community continues use of the Shofar to this day; it plays a central role in the observance of the Jewish high holidays including Rosh Hashanah (the New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). The Ba’al Tekiah, or practitioner of the instrument, is a specialist and held in high regard by the Jewish community. In this 1957 recording, David M. Hausdorff demonstrates the instrument’s basic sounds, rhythms, and combinations in addition to reciting the Jewish prayers, in Hebrew, associated with an instrument that continues to induce excitement and wonder.

The Bora of the Pascoe River: Cape York Peninsula, Northeast Australia The bora, or boys’ initiation ceremonies, of the Aboriginal peoples of Cape York Peninsula in Northeastern Australia were already under threat by outside influence when this recording was made by Wolfgang Laade in 1963 (it was released in 1975). He interviewed tribal elders in the sacred bora ground to document the myth of the crocodile hero―on which the bora is based―and to describe the ceremonies as they had been performed. Other elders recorded traditional bora songs. The experience is especially heightened by the sounds of work and life permeating throughout. CNRSMH_E_1985_012_012

Hawaiian Drum Dance Chants: Sounds of Power in Time In the eastern Polynesian islands known as Hawaii, the making of music and dance is center on mele or chanted texts. Mele, sung alone, are said to be performed in the oli style (without dance or musical instruments). When coupled with hula (dance), they are called mele hula, and when the pahu drum is added the performance is called mele hula pahu. More specific terms are also applied to mele that are used for specific purposes such as processionals, prayers, and naming. The practice of perpetuating tradition through the teacher-student relationship is strong in Hawaiian mele. Performers’ styles are recognized, back through time, in their teacher’s, and their teachers’ teacher’s styles. These recordings give a view of several performance styles of Hawaiian mele between 1923 and 1989, although the traditions and the mele reach much further back in time. CNRSMH_E_1994_019_005

Las grabaciones de campo de 1933 y 1940 de los asentamientos en Nuevo México y Arizona, documentan bellamente una música en gran medida vocal y altamente melódica con frases repetidas, divididas y combinadas relativamente en una corta canción, de una manera compleja e intrigante.

Drums of Defiance : Maroon Music from the Earliest Free Black Communities of Jamaica Featuring complex, West African influenced drumming and dancing, this little-known rural tradition is at the heart of modern, politically charged reggae music. The conviction heard here reveals a long history of struggle. During the 17th and 18th centuries, some of the Africans brought to Jamaica as slaves escaped to the mountains. There they settled, and over time, they became known as "Maroons." Today, four major Maroon colonies still exist in Jamaica's rugged western Cockpit Country and in the eastern Blue Mountains. Some selections on this recording were previously issued in 1981 on Folkways 4027. CNRSMH_E_1994_019_017
