[INDOLOGY] Classical Indian musical theory

[Ananya Vajpeyi]

I'm no scholar of musicology or music history but here are two recent
popular books by writers who are practicing musicians that have done quite
well in India (and elsewhere):

TM Krishna, *A Southern Music: The Karnatik Story *
https://www.amazon.com/Southern-Music-Karnatik-Story/dp/9351777405

Amit Chaudhuri, *Finding the Raga: An Improvisation on Indian Music*
https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Raga-Improvisation-Indian-Music/dp/1681374781

Your friend can also access large numbers of videos of concerts,
performances, interviews and conversations with both authors, who write,
speak, sing and travel a lot.

Best,

AV.
