スミソニアン博物館のインスタグラム(smithsonian) - 9月25日 23時28分

@smithsonianfolkways' foundation, Folkways Records, just turned 70 and we're taking over the Smithsonian Instagram this week! This year, we've been exploring and sharing stories told through hidden treasures from our collection in an online exhibit “70 Years, 70 Stories,” which you can find through folkways.si.edu or the link in the bio.

One highlight is a result of creative collaborations from Mozambique in the late 1970s.
In 1975, Mozambique became a republic after nearly 500 years of Portuguese colonial rule. The post-colonial FRELIMO (Front for the Liberation of Mozambique) government soon established its own cultural training program that invited artists from abroad to serve as “cooperantes”-in-residence, providing technical training to Mozambicans in the fields of arts and communication.
Ron and Ophera Hallis, two filmmakers from Canada, were among those who were chosen for the program. During their 18-month residency, they produced and released ”Music from Mozambique” on Folkways Records in 1980.
The photo above—taken by Ophera Hallis—shows a young girl, Anastasia, listening to one of her recordings. The caption notes that it is the first time she has heard her own voice on tape.
The photo is a good representation of the spirit of the times, speaking to the youthful optimism for a new Mozambican future, one in which self-representation and the means of cultural production are in the hands of the people.
