This is the first book to tackle the diverse styles and multiple
histories of popular musics in India. It brings together fourteen
of the world's leading scholars on Indian popular music to
contribute chapters on a range of topics from the classic songs of
Bollywood to contemporary remixes, summarized by a reflective
afterword by popular music scholar Timothy Taylor. The chapters in
this volume address the impact of media and technology on
contemporary music, the variety of industrial developments and
contexts for Indian popular music, and historical trends in popular
music development both before and after the Indian Independence in
1947. The book identifies new ways of engaging popular music in
India beyond the Bollywood musical canon, and offers several case
studies of local and regional styles of music. The contributors
address the subcontinent's historical relationships with
colonialism, the transnational market economies, local governmental
factors, international conventions, and a host of other
circumstances to shed light on the development of popular music
throughout India. To illustrate each chapter author's points, and
to make available music not easily accessible in North America, the
book features an Oxford web music companion website of audio and
video tracks.
