The History of French Traditional Music (really!)

This specially-priced set is a comprehensive anthology of the rich cultural heritage of French traditional music, featuring nearly 300 tracks, provides the listener a complete ethnomusicological panorama of the musical culture of France. The individual titles (recorded between 1900 and 2006) reveal the timeless and lasting nature of a collective memory reaching across whole generations, a memory which, in these times of globalization and uniformity, asserts the diversity of the heritage left to us by popular art-forms.
