In this vibrant hub of musicians, poets, scholars and freedom fighters, Janki Bai Ilahabadi was a musical star, counting among her fans maharajas, poets, judges, nawabs, government officials and multitudes of ordinary people. Popularly known as Chhappan Chhuri, Janki Bai's career, originating in a nautch house and vexed by many trials and torments, soared to stellar heights lifting her from penury to palaces and even the Delhi Durbar of 1911.Based on the real-life story of Hindustani singer Janki Bai Ilahabadi (1880–1934), Requiem in Raga Janki is the beautifully rendered tale of one of India's unknown gems. Moving from Hindustani classical music's earliest times to the age of the gramophone, from Baiju's mysticism and Tansen's magic to Hassu Khan's stringent opposition to recordings, this is a novel that brings to life a tapestry of music lore through the eyes of a gifted performer.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: INItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: Neelum Saran GourGenre: FictionTopic: Historical FictionRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
