ABOUT
The British Library's World and Traditional Music collection contains published and unpublished recordings of music from all countries and represents most of the world's major religions, work songs, wedding and funeral music, accompanied songs and instrumental music, as well as popular styles based on folk traditions such as bhangra, rumba, soukouss, highlife, son, cumbia, tango, and rebetika.
Important collections on wax cylinders by pioneering fieldworkers, as well as more recent recordings made on a range of formats during ethnographic research, are held. In addition to its own selection of recordings, the British Library provides access to recordings from the BBC sound archives.
