User:Singerde/Liist of Smithsonian Folkways artists

This is a selected list of Smithsonian Folkways musical artists. Not all of the artists listed here were only recorded under the Smithsonian Folkways label. As the Folkways Catalog contains over 2,000 entries, some of which without artist names listed, some of which without "artists," such as the sounds of trains or frogs, an exhaustive list is extremely difficult to compile. The artists here were compiled from the index of the book, Worlds of Sound by Richard Carlin, and the artists on the Folkways website.
