Music in Colonial Punjab

Courtesans, Bards, and Connoisseurs, 1800-1947

Beschreibung

This book offers the first social history of music in undivided Punjab (1800-1947), unearthing new evidence to argue for the power of female performers and the primacy of classical music for a region conventionally understood as a centre of folk music alone.
