Folk Songs of Canada Now

“I was once a performance artist.  But more pressing questions – both theoretical and practical ones – began to haunt me.  What does it mean to be real?  What comes after the annihilation of capitalism?  How do we get there together?  I wished no longer to only explore questions.  I wished, suddenly, to answer them.  So I became a folklorist.
There is probably much left for me to learn.  But this archive is the fruit of my first song-collecting journey across Canada, and I have given it for you.
In solidarity,
Henry Adam Svec”
