'Cultural mapping' has become a central keyword in the UNESCO strategy to protect natural and world cultural heritage, including music traditions. As a tool to increase the awareness of cultural diversity it transforms the concept of intangible cultural heritage to visible items by establishing multi-dimensional profiles of cultures and communities. Cultural mapping has been used as a resource for a variety of purposes as broad as the analysis of conflict points and peace building, adaptation to climate change, sustainability management, as well as heritage debates and management. Music has been playing a significant role in each of these aspects. As this theme has rarely been explored within ethnomusicology, this collection approaches the topic of cultural mapping from four different thematic perspectives: The book starts out with historical and methodological reflections on cultural mapping in ethnomusicology, followed by an exploration on possible relation between nature/ landscape (and definition of such) and music/ sound. How exactly is landscape interrelated with music - and identified (and vice versa)? The second half focuses more specifically on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The articles not only address the broader political framework, but also thematic and geographic case studies of Intangible Cultural Heritage and music, as well as the pro of UNESCO's endeavours.

In the 1960s and 1970s, a number of British musicians rediscovered
traditional folk ballads, fusing the old melodies with rock, jazz,
and blues styles to create a new genre dubbed "electric folk" or
"British folk rock." This revival featured groups such as Steeleye
Span, Fairport Convention, and Pentangle and individual performers
like Shirley & Dolly Collins, and Richard Thompson. While
making music in multiple styles, they had one thing in common: they
were all based on traditional English song and dance material.
These new arrangements of an old repertoire created a unique
musical voice within the popular mainstream. After reasonable
commercial success, peaking with Steeleye Span's Top 10 album All
Around My Hat, Electric Folk disappeared from mainstream notice in
the late 1970s, yet performers continue to create today.
