Gundecha Brothers - Night Prayer (Dhrupad Singing from North India) (2012)

CD by one of the most important ensemble of Dhrupad singing in North India.
* The nature of Dhrupad music is spiritual. Seeking not to entertain, but to induce feelings of peace and contemplation in the listener. *«Ragas are soliloquies and meditations, passionate melodies that draw circles and triangles in a mental space, a geometry of sounds that can turn a room into a fountain, a spring, a pool».
(Octavio Paz )
Dhrupad is the most ancient style of Hindustani classical music that has survived until today in its original form. The Dhrupad tradition is a major tradition of Indian culture. GUNDECHA BROTHERS are, probably, today best interpreters of this tradition.
