Bakan, Florida State University The Focus on World Music Series is designed specifically for area courses in world music and ethnomusicology. Presented through a global lens, Focus: Popular Music in Contemporary India contextualizes the dynamic popular music of India and its vast cultural impact. Illuminated are issues of great import in India today –as reflected through its music –addressing questions of a “national” aesthetic, the effects of Western music, and identity politics as they relate to class, caste, LGBTQ perspectives, and other marginalized voices. Included are case studies featuring song notations, first- person narratives, and interviews of well-known artists and emerging musicians alike.
This critical approach provides readers with a foundation for understanding an Indian musical culture that is as diverse and complex as the region itself. From Bollywood film songs and Indo-jazz to bhangra hip-hop and Indian death metal, the book situates Indian popular music within critical and historical frameworks, highlighting the unprecedented changes the region’s music has undergone in recent decades.
