Gundecha Brothers in concert
Umakant and Ramakant Gundecha are one of India’s leading exponents of the Dhrupad style of music. They are among the most active young performers of Dhrupad in Indian and international circuits. Born in Ujjain in Central India, both were initiated into music by their parents. This ancient style of classical Hindustani vocal music is a form of devotional music that traces its origin to the ancient text of Sam Veda and seeks to induce feelings of inner contemplation in the listener.
The Gundecha Brothers have sung great Hindi poetry by Tulsidas, Kabir, Padmakar, Nirala in Dhrupad style. As well as being an integral part of all of India’s prestigious music festivals, the Brothers have also performed at many important international music festivals and institutions in about 25 countries in Europe, U.S.A, Australia, Japan, Egypt, Singapore, Bangladesh, U.A.E and Hongkong.
They now bring the deeply spiritual Dhrupad music of North India to the New York & Toronto audience. Be sure to be a part of this unique music experience.
