Another great source of traditional music are the enthomusicollegy
collections of universitiies.
working for an Inuit radio and television network in the Nunavik (Arctic
Quebec, Canada) region, I spent a couple of weeks making copies of the
interviews and music recordings enthomusicologists had made of Inuit
elders. I was allowed to make those copies simply because I asked and
because I was doing so to return those sound recordings back to the people
of the region where they were originally recorded...
So I heartly suggest that community radio stations get in touch with the
ethomusicology departments /sections of university anthopology departments
around the world and see if they have any recordings from your region of
the world... In my case... the department's policy was to
a) leave copies of recordings with the communities in which they were
recorded...
and because they knew that those copies were often lost... it was also
their policy to
b) allow representatives of those communities to make other copies to
replace those originally left... at no cost...
Searching "ethnomusicology recordings" on Google gives about 1,290,000 hits
