A note on inclusivity and accessibility~
It is my goal for this site to be a resource for anyone interested in traditional music, and I strive to present that in a way that is inclusive and accessible to everyone. I will make an attempt to include relevant trigger warnings and include recordings from POC and non-male performers where possible, especially for songs stemming from non-white cultures. Culturally insensitive material may be included as to acknowledge past injustices, and to learn and grow from them. Erasure of oppression only benefits the oppressors. Any material like this will be labeled with a trigger warning and hidden. If there is anything I can do to make my website more accessible and inclusive, please contact me.
