Umakant Gundecha

Umakant Gundecha is one half of the legendary Gundecha Brothers duo, renowned for their mastery of Dhrupad, one of the oldest forms of Indian classical music. Born in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, Umakant honed his skills under the guidance of esteemed gurus like Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar and Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar, diving deep into the intricate vocal techniques and rhythmic complexities that define Dhrupad. Alongside his brother Ramakant, he built a global reputation through captivating performances and recordings that blend ancient traditions with soul-stirring devotion, earning them accolades like the Padma Shri award in 2012.

Even after Ramakant's passing in 2019, Umakant has continued to carry the torch, collaborating with younger artists and teaching the next generation through workshops and their Gurukul in Bhopal. His releases, like the devotional "Jayati Shri Ganesh" and the meditative "Naad Sugandh," showcase his powerful voice and commitment to preserving Dhrupad's spiritual essence, making him a beloved figure for classical music fans worldwide.
