Like many other small towns in Trinidad, Felicity is populated almost entirely by East Indians. In their Caribbean exile, the residents of Felicity have created and recreated the music of their Hindu ancestors. Music of Hindu Trinidad is a fascinating account of the history and cultural significance of Hindu music that explores its symbolic, aesthetic, and psychological aspects while asking the larger question of how this music has contributed to the formation of identity in the midst of their great diaspora. Myers details the musical repertory of Felicity, which is based largely on north Indian genres including the traditional Bhojpuri folk songs and drumming styles brought by the first indentured laborers in 1845. In her engaging exploration of the fate of Indian classical music and new popular styles such as Hindi calypso, soca, and chutney, she even finds herself at the ancestral home of Trinidadian V. S. Naipaul in India. Copiously illustrated and accompanied by a compact disk, Music of Hindu Trinidad is a model ethnographic study.
This book is a pragmatic as well as a scientific attempt at connecting the complicated history of ancient Hindu music in a systematic manner. The most important texts as Naradiyasiksha, Natyasastra, Brihaddesi and Sangitratnakara have been taken for detailed study incorporating more than a hundred slokas, relevant to the topic. The author has rendered explanations of a number of debatable passages; moreover, the ancient terminologies have been critically analyzed in the context of modern practices. The complex history of grama and raga development has been simplified. Lucid and forceful, the language itself explains the theme.
