These Grandmothers Are Preserving Ukraine’s Folk Music Traditions
Miklós Both, founder of the Polyphony Project, is on a mission to preserve the folk music traditions of Ukraine. Over the last four years, the project has visited more than 100 villages and recorded 2,000 songs. Most often, Both and his colleagues recruit groups of local seniors to sing the traditional songs of their villages into professional recording equipment. The recordings are being compiled into a digital archive, as a way to ensure that future generations will always have access to them.
