“What emerges is the recognition that tradition, at its micro-level enactment, is shaped not only by the formal and thematic qualities of songs but also by the attitudes of the bodies and voices that carry them. It is this interplay that generates the sense of flow inherent to such traditions….A living tradition, then, is not static or linear, but dynamic, layered, and always becoming.”
