Share

Fête de la Musique – it’s International Music Day, folks! Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake” – and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Music not only has the power to make you dance to its tunes, but also to move you in inconceivable ways.

To celebrate this day, we have put together a stunning list of biographies and autobiographies, memoirs and conversations that remind us of the immense talent the world has seen and continues seeing. Whether you’re a fan of Bob Dylan or R.D. Burman, Lata Mangeshkar or the Spice Girls – we have a book for you.
