Where's a good place to look for authentic recordings?

 

I'm thinking sort of ethno-musicologists would have access to this stuff and I wondered if my university had access to recordings which I could use myself in my tracks. I'm sure loads of field recordings have been made which I could reuse.

I'm sort of thinking along the lines of the vocal loop used in that track. So haunting yet beautiful, hypnotic vocal parts.

 

Thanks!!!

 

 

Probably not HQ, or indeed vocal, but may be of interest nonetheless: there's a radio programme airing on Christmas Day this year about all the indigenous music David Attenborough's recorded over the years while travelling to record his nature doccos. Apparently he's a bit of an amateur musicologist. Radio 3 IIRC.

Rain Over Mountain is out now; 100% of Bandcamp sales are donated to the Motor Neurone Disease Association:

Maybe not always very HQ in terms of audio quality but the Alan Lomax archive has all kinds of great stuff:

Attenborough... Wasn't he Key Grip #3 in Turner & Hooch?

Ah brilliant, I have access via my uni login to the British Library recordings. They are 192kbps downloads but there is a nice India section.
