In the last writing that Tagore published before his death, Crisis of Civilization, an assessment of Indian identity and colonial domination is made to denounce the oppression endured by the Indian people. East and West are words that are easily elevated to concepts, due to the use that has been made of them, to designate what is not the same in a broad cartography that extends from east to west and vice versa. Today, the presence of the West in what we call the East, politically, economically and culturally, is as visible as the orientalization of the West. This book dates back to the official donation made of Alain Daniélou's musical funds to the city of Barcelona, and which Casa Asia digitized. These are 50 works of ethnic and traditional music recorded in India by Daniélou in the 30s. Although other recordings he made in other countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Japan, Thailand and Azerbaijan were incorporated as a result of his return to the world in 1936. The volume brings together texts by eleven specialists, extracts from works by Daniélou, several texts by Rabrindanath Tagore and the portrait of Tagore by Satyajit Ray.
