Summary
This accretion consists of a series of eight two-hour digital audiotape (DAT) cartridges of folk music concerts entitled "Families of New Yorkers" sponsored by the Council's Folk Arts Program. The concerts feature authentic folk music by performers from a wide variety of New York ethnic and geographic backgrounds, most of whom had never before been recorded. In addition to the actual performances, each tape contains ca. 10-15 minutes of introductory remarks that discuss the backgrounds of the performers and attempt to place the music in context.
