Abstract

The paper describes the mechanism of preservation of traditional culture in the urban and rural areas in the XX and XXI centuries. It also discusses the urban amateur ensembles’ contribution into revival of the traditional rural singing culture in 1990s. The paper evaluates the current state of traditional song culture in the Volgograd region and describes the functioning of folklore groups in urban and rural areas in the context of the “second life” of folk culture. With the help of twelve typological features inherent in traditional folklore ensembles, the degree of authenticity of the leading Cossack collectives is determined. The paper explains why local collectives are considered as the keepers and ‘translators’ of authentic singing culture, and urban collectives as culture’s collectors and interpreters.
