Music is an integral part of singing and dancing and often an accompaniment to other activities like processions and ceremonials.

Folk tunes are very often divorced from their original setting and played just for the joy of it.

Here we can pool information about where the tunes came from, who publish them and when, what they were used for, how they travelled and where they are to be found now.
