Here at RE:VIVE we’re super lucky to have access to the incredible ethnographic music collections of the Tropenmuseum, held by The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. This collection, lovingly referred to in-house as the KIT collection spans decades of ethnomusicology from around the world with recordings made by some of the foremost ethnomusicologists. When we prepare for a Red Light Radio set, our head of content, Harry, walks downstairs to the depots and pulls out a bunch of CDs (digitized reel-to-reel tapes) and starts listening. Much of this material hasn’t been heard by people for over 2 decades, possibly longer in some cases. But because of our friends at Red Light Radio, we have a platform to share just the tip of the iceberg with you all.
Have a listen to our newest mix as we journey from Cameroon to Libya, India, Zambia, the Ivory Coast and more. Check out the full track list below and stream the mix now.
