ABOUT

The Association for Cultural Equity (ACE), founded by Alan Lomax in 1983, preserves, researches, and disseminates the world's traditional music, reconnecting communities with their creative heritage, fostering cultural revival, and inspiring new artistic creations. ACE brings the world’s expressive arts to its audiences with its unparalleled collections of global music, and American, Caribbean and European music recorded by Alan and John Lomax, putting them at the service of diverse cultures, cultural leaders, students, teachers, and scientists. We engage with artists and communities to sustain their traditions through dialogue that shifts power, supporting the revitalization of culture on their terms.
