Blair School of Music, Music Library, Vanderbilt University
2400 Blakemore Ave.
Nashville, TN 37212, USA,
The Global Music Archive is a multi-media reference archive and resource centre for traditional and popular song, music and dance of Africa and the Americas. It is a public facility that promotes education in African and American traditional and popular music through its own activities and by supporting the activities of others. The archive is housed within the Anne Potter Wilson Music Library in Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music. It includes public rooms for the study of materials, and audio and video listening and viewing facilities.
The GMA's primary mission is to provide access to sound recordings and images of indigenous music from communities in Africa and the Americas. Founded in 2003 by Gregory Barz, Associate Professor of Musicology (Ethnomusicology) at Vanderbilt University and the Anne Potter Wilson Music Library, the GMA recently launched its first database in a series of databases, the Digital Collection of East African Recordings which consists of over 2,000 discrete musical performances recorded by an East African ethnomusicologist, Centurio Balikoowa.
The Global Music Archive (GMA) at Vanderbilt University is a collaboration between the Blair School of Music and the University Libraries.
