» Sangeetpedia

Sangeetpedia is the first multimedia encyclopedia of Indian music. A product which has taken 7 years to compile...It is a revolutionary product with the aim of educating and introducing Indian music in an academic light. Sangeetpedia features the biographies of over 250+ lumenaries and pioneers of Indian music. It has many archival recordings of many of the top musicians from 1900 onwards. We have also used some of the most talented musicians in India of the present generations to define and demonstrate many of the terms of Indian music. We are aiming to further enhance its term-base every few months to include over 10,000 terms that have been marked for inclusion. There are numerous audio and video recordings that have been shot for Sangeetpedia and remains one of our strongest points. The music of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan is so diverse and culturally flavored we have done our best to keep it true to form. Students of Indian music, as well as those who have never heard Indian music can enjoy and educate themselves of the many different features of Indian music.
