Dear Readers,

Welcome to Ragavani-- Ragamala's Quarterly Journal of South Asian Music and Dance.

We have just completed a very prolific first year! We published 11 scholarly articles/papers, 7 interviews, 10 concert reviews of classical music and dance performances, and 2 book reviews. With 30 new articles spread over three issues, we have much to celebrate! Our lives have been enriched by the scholarship, thoughts and opinions of contributors from various parts of the world---academics, performing artists, teachers and students---who gave of their time and energy freely and cheerfully. We thank them all.

 

We are going on a short break now, and hope to be back with more of everything you have come to expect from Ragavani.
