The voice in the drum : music, language, and emotion in Islamicate South Asia / Richard K. Wolf. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Drumming, language, and the voice in South Asia -- Emotional agents -- Tone and stroke -- Beyond the Måatra -- Muharram in Multan -- Shah Jamal -- Madho Lal -- The manifest and the hidden -- The voice in the drum -- A silver box -- Appendix A: Dhåimåa and måatam -- Appendix B: Summary of commemorative themes on particular days of Muharram in South Asia -- Appendix C: Cast of characters by Chapter; Key figures in the Karbala story.
Based on extensive research in India and Pakistan, this study examines the ways drumming and voices interconnect over vast areas of South Asia and considers what it means for instruments to be voice-like and carry textual messages in particular contexts. Richard K. Wolf employs a hybrid, novelistic form of presentation in which the fictional protagonist Muharram Ali, a man obsessed with finding music he believes will dissolve religious and political barriers, interacts with Wolf's field consultants, to communicate ethnographic and historical realities that transcend the local details of any one person's life.
