A community for the love of all music from before 1950.

Doesn't matter where it's from, if it's musical and you like it, post it here.

RULES:

Always follow all rules of the lemmy.today instance and your own instance.
One song/movement per post title. Try not to post too many times in one community in a single day (no flooding/spamming).
Posted music should play in its entirety, automatically for everyone without needing to login or download anything.
Newer performances of older music is acceptable. List the year the song was originally released if the performance was after 1949.
Posts must include the song/movement title, the artist or group, and the year that version of the music was originally released. Additional information is encouraged.
Do not repost the same song, search the community if you are unsure. Different performances of the same music is allowed. If a link has gone dead or will not play in your region, you can repost a copy that plays for you.
If the music was uploaded by someone else, please credit them.
If you have additional information about the music, like behind-the-scenes trivia or interesting facts, related content, including that in your post is highly encouraged.
Discussion posts and links to albums or playlists are allowed, as long as there is one playable song in the title.
Do not discuss/call out rulebreaking or community operations in the posts. Report problems using the report function or send a message to a moderator directly.
