Catafolk A catalogue of traditional music datasets
Catafolk automatically indexes and analyzes folk music datasets. It collects all metadata in standardized, easy to use csv files. These CSV files are also used to generate the Catafolk website.
Summary
The project aims to make cross-cultural music corpora more easily accessible. It is a catalogue of music corpora, but also an index of songs in those corpora, providing metadata in a consistent format. We hope the project contributes to diversifying computational music research and to the creation of large, cross-cultural musical corpora.
