Starting in April 2014, and until July 2015 two albums per week were released and now all 127 albums are available via digital download, streaming services, on-demand physical CDs, and library streaming audio subscription. The republishing of this collection marks renewed commitment to making this unique collection of diverse musical expressions accessible to the public. Extensive annotations and photographs accompany each release. Much of the collection was gathered in situ and is presented as field recordings. With recordings from more than 70 nations, the UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music offers a staggering diversity of our shared humanity. The UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music stands as one of the earliest achievements of UNESCO’s program for safeguarding and revitalizing intangible cultural heritage. Collaboration continued more recently with the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM).
