[ANPPOM-Lista] ARSC Awards for Lifetime Achievement & Distinguished Service to Historical Recordings

[Carlos Palombini]

ARSC annually presents a *Lifetime Achievement Award* to an individual in
recognition of a life's work in recorded sound research and publication.
The *Award for Distinguished Service to Historical Recordings* honors a
person who has made outstanding contributions to the field, outside of
published works or discographic research.
2015 Awards[ Award for Distinguished Service to Historical Recordings -
Marcos Lacerda ]

The 2015 ARSC Distinguished Service Award was presented to Marcos Lacerda.
Dr. Lacerda has been working to promote the release of field recordings for
some decades. He is responsible for the Smithsonian release of his field
recordings, *Yoruba drums from Benin* (1996) that was followed by another
production by FUNARTE about his field research in Benin, Africa; he is also
the author of *Kultische Trommelmusik der Yoruba in der Volksrepublik Benin
: Bata-Sango und Bata-Egungun in den Städten Pobè und Sakété* (1988). As
coordinator of a studio at The University of Sao Paulo, he has designed and
produced a CDs about Brazilian Contemporary and Historical Music, striving
against all sorts of difficulties in a country that is far from valuing the
importance of its rich tradition. One of the most important is his rescue
of *Mario de Andrade's Mission* - an expedition throughout the country
organized in 1938 that resulted in 33 hours of sound recording of ethnic
music.
