  • 17.05.2018Wir gratulieren Smithsonian Folkways zu 70 Jahren MusikgeschichteIm Mai 2018 kann das amerikanische Label Smithsonian Folkways auf 70 Jahre voller großartiger Musiker und Aufnahmen, angefangen mit Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, oder Lead Belly, zurückblicken. Um das Jubiläum gebührend zu feiern, stehen zahlreiche Veröffentlichungen von neuen Künstlern und Projekten, Box-Sets, Vinylausgaben und Archivaufnahmen bevor. Das Label spezialisierte sich von Beginn an auf Musik, die noch nicht massenhaft auf dem Markt zu finden war. Der Katalog umfasst nichtkommerzielle Aufnahmen, Jazzeinspielungen, ethnische und Weltmusik, gesellschafts- und politikkritische Folksongs bis hin zu einem liebevoll gestalteten Angebot an Musik für Kinder und Jugendliche. Die Identität des Labels besteht seit jeher darin Musik, Sprache und den Sound von Menschen aus allen Teilen der Welt zu dokumentieren. Huib Schippers, Direktor und Kurator bei Smithsonian Folkways: We create and curate sounds and stories to educate minds and delight ears in unexpected ways. At the same time, we’re committed to contributing to discussions on the major issues of the day, which is as urgent now as when Moses Asch founded the label in 1948.
