Extract
The purpose of this article is to examine the study of traditional music in Greenland and thereby outline the history of traditional Greenlandic music and its present state. From the beginning of the century the study of traditional Greenlandic music has primarily taken place within the framework of the Danish Folklore Archives in Copenhagen. Many collectors were sent out by this institution, and nearly all of the sound recordings made in Greenland since 1905 have been deposited there.
