# Song of Freedom"

The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress challenged musical artists to interpret material from its unparalleled archive of ethnographic recordings of traditional folk music. Artists were asked to put their own spin on these archival treasures, and to perform them at a special showcase during the Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City in 2017. The showcase was recorded for this webcast. This video features Lemon Bucket Orkestra, a Balkan-inspired band from Toronto, Canada, performing "Song of Freedom" from Sidney Robertson Cowell's field recording of Aslanian's Armenian Orchestra made in Fresno, California in 1939.
