Marisa Anderson is searching Harry Smith’s record collection for songs from countries with which the USA has been in conflict since 1970, for The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music Vol. 1. She translates folk songs from the Middle East, Russia, South-East Asia and the Arab world into instrumental miniatures reminiscent of the American Primitive Guitar style. The realisation: there is a world beyond the USA.
