This is a website of mp3s of traditional Chinese music from 78rpm records!

It also has music from Japan, Mongolia etc.
The photos of the old records themselves are almost just as interesting as the music. There are also fascinating old photos of musicians on the site.
To get you started, this is Rain Falling on Banana Leaves,
