On Tuesday, April 12, the ARChive of Contemporary Music will be celebrating Muslim World Music Day, a live online effort to identify and catalog all the recordings of Muslim music in the world, in one day. The project will be a step toward making this culturally significant body of work readily available to people around the globe for study and enjoyment. Collectors, fans, scholars, artists, labels, distributors and media outlets will contribute song lists, videos, essays, lectures, cover art, biographies, instrument and genre definitions, bibliographies, electronic press kits, festival info, local scene overviews, text scans, photos, links, tweets and audio files.
