It is so funny to me that Hans Zimmer described his Dune score as having totally original sounds and "embracing an entirely different time in a galaxy alien to us" but the score itself primarily drones, orientalist bullshit, and 50 different files labeled tribal_drum_1.aif

YIVO's founders had a broad view of what constituted Jewish culture & what to collect. From folk music to jokes to rabbinic documents to theater/literature & everything in between. Here, for example, is a 1928 photo of Jewish pro wrestler Zelig Pashov donating documents to YIVO.

The JFREJ community mourns the loss of one of the greatest of all time - a partner in justice with a voice like no other, who modeled with unmatched grace and courage that music is a balm and solidarity is a verb. Rest in Power, Harry Belafonte. We salute you.
