Recognizing music as a vital social and cultural force, this volume focuses on the region of South Asia looking at the role of music in the lives, arts and culture of its people. The coverage provides an overview of the region, and reviews its music heritage and scholarship.
In this volume, sixty-eight of the world's leading authorities explore and describe the wide range of musics of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kashmir, Nepal, and Afghanistan.
Important information about history, religion, dance, theatre, the visual arts, and philosophy, as well as their relationship to music, is highlighted in seventy-six in-depth articles.
