The Sound of Dhrupad

"The Sound of Dhrupad" offers a deep dive into one of the oldest and most meditative forms of Indian classical music. This playlist brings together some of the most respected names in the tradition—like the Dagar Brothers, Gundecha Brothers, Ustad Rahim Fahimuddin Khan Dagar, and Uday Bhawalkar—highlighting the art of alap (slow, improvisational introduction) and structured compositions in rhythmic cycles like chautal, sooltal, and teevra.

The selections cross a range of ragas including Malkauns, Bhairav, Darbari Kanada, and Puriya, giving listeners a sense of how Dhrupad explores different times of day and emotional moods through music. Instrumental tracks by Zia Mohiuddin Dagar and Bahauddin Dagar expand the soundscape with the rich tones of the rudra veena, while vocal duos and soloists demonstrate the spiritual focus and disciplined artistry of this genre. Ideal for focused listening, the playlist functions almost like a guided meditation through the minimalist yet profound aesthetics of Dhrupad.
