7. Red Is The Colour- The Other Mosaic –1900’s-30’s |
While Gibbon promoted class harmony through “multiculturalism”,
left-wing ethnic organizations - Jews, Ukrainians, Finns, and others,
created choirs, and other musical groups that both maintained their traditions
and created a vibrant revolutionary cultural milieu. From this milieu
emerged many singers and songs of what became known as the “folk revival”. |
