Singers Die Twice is the story of a life in music. One of Germany's
best-known exponents of North Indian classical music, specifically
dhrupad singing, Perer Pannke has traveled from his home in Germany
to Varanasi, Delhi, Darbhanga, and the forests of Vrindaban to
study classical Indian singing in the most famous gharanas-musical
houses-of India. His richly woven story takes readers from the
legendary beginning of the gharana in the eighteenth century into
the last splendid days of the Maharaja of Darbhanga-the inspiration
for Satyajit Ray's 1957 classic film, The Music Room-and into the
present. Along the way, we meet legendary singers whose names are
still known to the devotees of dhrupad: the grand old Pandit Ram
Chatur Mallik, the pious and inspiring Pandit Vidur Mallik, and
both the masters and the humbler musicians and traveling players
who bring music to the fields of Bihar, across India, and beyond.
Singers Die Twice is the inspiring story of a master musician in
the world that he loves.
