Adam Matthew Digital has announced the publication of its latest digital collection, Ethnomusicology: Global Field Recordings.
Music has always been a central and vital part of communities and cultures around the world, the study of which can reveal a great deal about the history, development, and values of each society. An increasingly popular area of academia, with close ties to both musicology and anthropology, ethnomusicology has grown in relevance and influence in recent decades.
This new resource from Adam Matthew Digital, including more than 3,000 hours of recordings from around the world, has been curated and produced in collaboration with the UCLS Ethnomusicology Archive, with materials also supplied by the Ethnomusicology Archive at the University of Washington. The focus is on the social and cultural study of music.
