NASC Panel: Singing with Sources - Ethics, Archives & Living Communities
moderated by Esbjörn Wettermark with Dave Francis, Hazel Marsh & Angeline Morrison
(Fri 6 Mar: 2:30pm)
Who do we credit, ask, and repay when we learn songs from recordings, books and living singers? This conversation focuses on permissions, attribution, language care, respectful adaptation and giving back to the people and places that carry the tradition. A short film on the Romani traditions will be shown during this event.
