Women, the Recited Qur'an, and Islamic Music in Indonesia
Anne Rasmussen
Takes readers to the heart of religious musical praxis in Indonesia, home to the largest Muslim population in the world. This title explores a public soundscape, where women recite the divine texts of the Qur'an, and where an extraordinary diversity of Arab-influenced Islamic musical styles and genres, also performed by women, flourishes.
