Abstract
Abstract: The musical lives of Mukund Nayak, awarded India ’ s Padma Sri medal for artistic accomplishment in 2017, his eldest son Nandu, and his youngest daughter Chandrakanta lay open the tensions and contradictions in the competing modalities of modernity that are transforming regional music across India today. Rather than a series of successive stages or neat dichotomies, their musical modernities are complex, coexisting, and overlapping, shaped by place, identity, politics, economics, gender, and idiosyncratic, individual experiences. Their conflicting and fragmentary strategies to sustain their inherited knowledge and livelihoods have left the next generation without a clear path to the future.- The author retains copyright over the work.
