DAS44 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hey everyone Might anyone here have any suggestions for books regarding - Traditional Asian Music (China, Japan, Thailand, Korea... you get my drift!) - Indian Classical Music (I've been a lover of the music for quite some time, never looked too deep into its history. Ideally going over both Carnatic and Hindustani music, any number of books would be lovely) - (This one is vague, based entirely upon some pieces I've heard on radio) Asian Classical Music of the 20th Century... I've heard a number of pieces that magnificently blend the typical "Western Classical" and the musical traditions of the continent and I'd like to tap into that massive well of genius. - And finally, Russian folk music... an unexplored love of mine.

Tman Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Can't recommend a book but a website: http://www.shankarmahadevanacademy.com/om-book-artists/ for both Carnatic and hindustani music. For books: Keith Richards life. He often plays a Gibson and was arrested in Arkansas once for pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Does Gibson offers balalaikas? Nooo? How come? They should! Joking! Russian people have excellent taste for music, and this is not only true for folk music exclusively. Even their popular songs are great. I remember when I used to live in Moscow, how I loved to hear the song "Подмосковые вечера". It was played at 7 A.M. on the radio every day before the News. Cheers...
