This playlist features recordings from the Accents & Dialects and World & Traditional music collections of the British Library Sound Archive and has been curated by the artist Jill McKnight, as part of her exhibition 'Desire Lines' at Leeds Art Gallery and online from 25 March to 16 October 2022. Jill took inspiration from these collections and those of Leeds Art Gallery in the creation of her new artworks for the exhibition.

It also includes new recorded versions of the songs 'The Derby Ram' and 'The Cruise of the Calabar' performed by the Yorkshire Trans Choir, which were chosen by the artist for their focus on reinterpreting traditional folk songs with a political twist.

Venda Music: Recorded Examples by John Blacking.

Track 1 - Tshikona tsha Shakadza, 1956. The Venda national drama for reed pipes, played by men, and drums, played by woman; performed at Thengwe by the people of Shakadza, who were called to the chief’s capital. (1:30)

About these recordings - In 1973 John Blacking's How Musical Is Man? was published by University of Washington Press. Blacking, an English anthropologist and ethnomusicologist, had been invited to the University of Washington as a Jessie and John Danz Lecturer in 1971, and his series of talks became the basis for this published work. How Musical Is Man? explores the role of music in society and culture and, conversely, the role of culture and society in music. Blacking draws on his field research with the Venda people of the Northern Transvaal, South Africa as well as his own musical background to demonstrate the relationships between patterns of sound and patterns of human organization inherent to all societies.

In response to requests for recordings of the musical examples in How Musical Is Man?, Blacking provided the University of Washington Ethnomusicology Archives with an audio tape of samples of his own recordings of Venda music to make available for distribution. This music, along with Blacking's accompanying notes and additional photographs, is available here: http://www.music.washington.edu/ethno/blacking.html
