New media and folk music in rural India

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of a preliminary ethnographic study of folk music practices in rural Malwa, Madhya Pradesh (India), specifically on the impact of new media on the production and dissemination of this music. Our findings show that new media can lead to increased listening and appreciation of folk music, but that better mechanisms are required for remunerating and recognizing folk artists themselves. © 2010 Copyright is held by the author/owner(s).
