Our mission is the legacy of Moses Asch who founded Folkways Records in 1948 to document "people s music " spoken word instruction and sounds from around the world. Through the dissemination of audio recordings and educational materials Folkways Records seek to strengthen people s engagement with their own cultural heritage and to enhance their awareness and appreciation of the cultural heritage of others. Aleksander Kulisiewicz a survivor of Sachsenhausen concentration camp is a voice of hope in the face of despair. Smithsonian Folkways Recordings is the nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian Institution the national museum of the United States. Folkways Records believe that musical and cultural diversity contributes to the vitality and quality of life throughout the world. They are dedicated to supporting cultural diversity and increased understanding among peoples through the documentation preservation and dissemination of sound. The agony of the songs is intense but the beauty of the musical expression helps to counter the suffering experienced by so many millions. The Smithsonian acquired Folkways from the Asch estate in 1987 and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings has continued the Folkways commitment to cultural diversity education increased understanding and lively engagement with the world of sound.
