About the Book THE FIRST-EVER PORTRAIT OF ONE OF THE GREATEST VOCALISTS OF HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL MUSIC—GANGUBAI HANGAL. In this biography of Gangubai Hangal, Deepa Ganesh brings to life her journey from being born into a family of traditional musicians in Dharwad to becoming one of the greatest vocalists of Hindustani classical music. In the telling of the musician’s story, Ganesh captures significant historical moments that went on to shape Gangubai’s musical persona: the changing landscape of patronage and the arrival of the gramophone in India; the dying phase of the courtesan singing tradition and the creation of a public sphere; the rise of Marathi natyasangeet; the institution of All India Radio; and above all, the Indian freedom struggle. A Life in Three Octaves is an intimate and endearing account of an extraordinary musician poised between the riches of tradition and the promise of modernity. |
