Life / rural poland's music life 100 years ago? [2]
hello, i was wondering how was rural (say village/people living on the land) polands music scene say 100-500 years ago. My grandma was a subsistence farmer in a village and i would imagine that they just would not have indigenous musical instruments such as a drum for example to sing and dance every night with their community.
I would hate to have my people go to bed when the work is done not dance and sing like lets say numerous tribes of africa. My momther say's that they hired/or a guy came from some other part of poland and came with an orchestra and had a party once in a while.:is this true? Only once in a while?!!
In my opinion I would like to see some traditions or new traditions come to reality with respect to indigenous music in automonous rural communities. This idea really makes me sad:what if poland had no electricity ?what would the people do in terms of musical culture? Since all if not most people now listen to stuff heard through speaker and wires. people going to disco's,people listening and tunning into the globalized music scene.
In my opinion, unless one believes that the world can sustain this unsustainable, industrialized, and globalized world civilization,we cannot wait until the era comes where humankind will have to go back to more simpler and natural times and start to develop it's indigenous musical culture.
