The provisions for considering the informative material of researchers who turned to the traditions of phonofolklore as a subject review of Ukrainian musical art among the all-Ukrainian, international and regional planes (a factor in the replenishment of archives) are regulated. It is found that the scientific and creative comprehension of folklore studies in the space of Ukrainian culture is the role of national song performance (preservation of musical traditions), which has become the centre of formation of many musical groups and solo artists. In particular, in order to dive into the problems of forming a discographic tour of ethnic art, it is necessary to regulate the system of entering stock recordings of Ukrainian folklore, to focus on the importance of folk song styles and genres, to find out how potential organisations can enter the field of collecting phonographic information, and how to preserve the further development of Ukrainian musical culture for the future generation of young artists.
