Folkways Alive
folkwaysAlive!, the University of Alberta's partnership with Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in Washington DC, provides a home for over two thousand Folkways Records donated to the University by company founder, Moses Asch. Building on this valuable collection, folkwaysAlive! houses a digital archive, provides research opportunities, and presents public performances that relate to and enhance the Folkways philosophy and traditions - featuring artists as diverse as Alberta’s Asani, Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans, and eclecTrip, to New York’s Trio Tarana and Japan’s Pro Musica Nipponia.
