About The Book

Written by one of the principal Karnatik vocalists of this day and age, A Southern Music: The Karnatik Story is a coherent and passionate account of the form, history and problems of the Karnatik music industry.

T. M. Krishna brings you his compelling interpretation of the traditions and customs involved with the art of Karnatik music, starting from the most fundamental aspect of defining music.

Communicating to musicians, musicologists as well as the common man, Krishna furnishes you with a breathtaking outline of classical music in South India. This book clearly portrays his love for the art and is written beautifully with precision and nuance. As the musical realm transitions with passing time, Krishna worries that the aesthetic that roots it and shares it with the rasika may be compromised.
