    Smithsonian Folkways to Open MP3 Music Store

    By Jacqueline Trescott

    The Smithsonian Institution is entering the highly competitive world
    of music downloads by offering the Smithsonian Folkways collection of
    ethnic and traditional music in an online music store.

    Smithsonian Global Sound, the new project, will be formally launched
    during the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in June. The enterprise is in
    the same vein as Microsoft's MSNmusic, Apple's iTunes Music Store and
    Sony's Connect.

    "This is a museum of sound," says Richard Kurin, director of the
    Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. Folkways will offer
    music that ranges from the earliest American folk songs to contemporary
    groups doing traditional music from Europe, Africa, Asia and South
    America. The music includes the songs of Woody Guthrie; the music of Mwenda
    Jean Bosco, the late guitar pioneer from Congo; the sound of the
    Turkish saz, a stringed instrument similar to a lute; playground songs by
    Suni Paz of Argentina; and the rich North Indian music of Kamalesh Maitra.

    Global Sound will charge 99 cents a song, which are available in MP3
    format. The Smithsonian will pay royalties to the artists, as its
    recording label has done with records and CDs.

    The potential broad exposure pleases many Folkways artists.

    "I'm all for it," says Mike Seeger, a member of the New Lost City
    Ramblers. The son of musicologist Charles Seeger and half-brother of Pete
    Seeger, Seeger has spent much of his life promoting southern and folk
    music. "I have a feeling of mission that I would like to have people get
    to know this realm of music better. This is a way to afford it," Seeger
    says.

    "When we saw the blossoming of the Internet, we thought, what if we
    could use this as a device for opening up the archives?," says Kurin, who
    is in charge of the Folkways archives. "People who don't usually have a
    voice can have a voice in a democratic, central way."

    With monetary returns to the artists, Kurin hopes the payments
    establish the ownership of the music. Over the years Folkways has fought to
    give the original voices their due. "There are world music stars who
    mine the traditional music, and the question is, what is the ownership,
    what is the moral commitment and how much is going back? When we give
    them the money, that establishes the intellectual property rights," Kurin
    says.

    The pay to artists is a percentage of each download, but the formula
    varies according to contracts, he explains. If the Smithsonian or its
    archives' partners can't locate an artist, the money is put in escrow.

    Since this is new territory for the Smithsonian, the staff needed to
    create the Global Sound unit. They recruited Jon Kertzer, an
    ethnomusicologist and Microsoft executive, and Anthony Seeger, an anthropologist,
    former director of Smithsonian Folkways and nephew of Pete Seeger, to
    assemble a development team in Seattle.

    The start-up money came from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Aga Khan
    Trust for Culture, Allen Foundation for Music and Folkways Alive! at
    the University of Alberta. Rockefeller provided $850,000, part of which
    would be paid back if Global Sound makes money.

    The Web site, www.smithsonianglobalsound.org, will allow searches by
    artist, geographic location, language, cultural group or instrument. All
    of the Folkways archives, including photographs, can be downloaded onto
    a screen. Also in development are scrolling translations of some of the
    music for use on a personal computer. Right now the Haya Heroic
    Ballads, a form of storytelling found in northwest Tanzania, is being
    translated into English on the Web site.

    To help people navigate the site, Kurin hopes to add contemporary
    personalities, like Mary Youngblood, the award-winning Native American
    flute player, and Mickey Hart, former drummer for the Grateful Dead, to
    guide people to their genre of world music, or their favorites.

    The service also includes music from the International Library of
    African Music in Grahamstown, South Africa, and the Archives and Research
    Center for Ethnomusicology outside New Delhi, not only to expand the
    Smithsonian's holdings but also to "give them a marketplace," Kurin says.

    As the Smithsonian fine-tunes this new service, the promoters hope new
    audiences for underappreciated artists of traditional music will
    develop.

    "There's a guy in Punjab who is doing wonderful, meaningful work and
    it is never going to be heard," says Kurin. "Here is a way."
