Alan Lomax is famous to this day for being one of the pioneering figures in the field of folk music. A student of Philosophy from the Texas A&M University, he showed an innate passion for curating music, considered by many to be the influence of his father, also a well-known collector. As a young boy, he started out accompanying his father on field trips, and eventually went along with other folklorists. As a member of the ‘Library of Congress’, he recorded several albums and interviews with famous folk music singers and musicians. The musicologist has also helped organize various shows and concerts for America and Britain, in a bid to help folk music survive in the two nations. Apart from music, his interests lay in politics, writing and human rights. He was champion for the cause of minorities in particular African Americans. He has also presented various popular radio shows in his prime time. Alan has collected music from places like America, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and Britain. He has founded The Association for Cultural Equity, aiming at preserving the dying art form of folk music, and spreading awareness about its beauty. He has written various books, and has won several awards, including a few post-death honours. |
