Living Tradition: Folk musics in Kirklees
Manage episode 363319213 series 3441613
In this episode, we'll introduce you to some of the traditional music that exists in the local area. Your host, Sam Hodgson, will express the definition of folk music through several stages of the podcast. We will hear about the aesthetics that make folk musics distinctive - instrumentation, clothing, and musical styles. We’ll hear from the local experts the other ‘folk’ elements of the music - the way things are made, written, practised, and performed. We’ll also discover folk music’s connections to their relative dance. All this will be set in Kirklees, from the perspectives of residents that have roots in Ireland, Carriacou, Iran, Bosnia, England and instruments with roots in Turkey and Australia.
