Music is a shared love amongst those of us on the Hazine team, and we are excited to present this series on music sources and archives, and the interplay between historical recordings and performance. Inspired by projects and labels such Ian Nagoski’s Canary Records, Arshia Haq’s Discostan, Jonathan Ward’s Excavated Shellac, Chris Silver’s Gharamophone, and and Hatim Arbaab Eujayl’s The Sounds of Sudan, and having worked at an institution with an amazing audio collection such as UCSB, has made me want to spotlight some of these amazing resources as well all as profile collections outside our area of knowledge, particularly outside the United States and Europe.
