Forum : La place des Traditions Orales de nos jours

Featuring Lucie RAULT, DASTUM and Pelin BASAR

The Caravanes Festival is hosting an Open Forum, providing an opportunity for discussion between the public, tradition collectors and researchers.

Featuring:

Lucie RAULT, an ethnomusicologist specialising in China who was formerly head of the musical instrument collections at the Musée de l’Homme. She has also written numerous books, including the renowned *Instruments de Musique du Monde* (Musical Instruments of the World), published by Éditions de la Martinière.

DASTUM is a non-profit organisation (under the 1901 Act), founded in 1972, which works to collect, safeguard and pass on the intangible cultural heritage – particularly oral and musical traditions – of historic Brittany: songs, music, tales, proverbs, stories… DASTUM was instrumental in having the Fest-Noz inscribed on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Pelin BASAR, a ney player and former member of the Turkish National Orchestra, is a musicologist and outreach coordinator at the CPFI – World Music Centre.
