Description: | This recording of the Russian folk song, "Song of the Volga Boatmen", was distributed by the "New Leader" newspaper. The "New Leader" was associated with the Independent Labour Party, a grouping on the left of the main party. Seen as the music of the people, interest in folk music had long been widespread on the left. This recording is an example of the left?s interest both in folk music, and in newly-communist Russia. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Power and Politics | Temporal: | c1925 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
