Explanation

The Gundecha Brothers, Umakant and Ramakant, are leading exponents of Dhrupad, which is the oldest surviving genre of North Indian classical music. They were trained by the legendary Dhrupad masters Zia Fariddudin Dagar and Zia Mohiuddin Dagar. Based in Bhopal, they established a prominent gurukul to promote this ancient vocal tradition globally. Since they are singers specializing in this specific classical form, they are classified as Dhrupad vocalists.
