Morning Bliss with Gundecha Brothers

The Gundecha brothers wearing white and singing into microphones

Gently start your day with a special concert of India’s most ancient style of Hindustani vocal music, known as dhrupad, and enjoy the magic of morning ragas.

The Gundecha brothers are the leading exponents of dhrupad, keeping the tradition alive at their Gurukul (conservatoire) in Bhopal, India. It’s a style of singing intended to invoke peace and tranquility, as performers improvise around the raga’s tonic note across a two and a half octave range, gradually growing into a shimmering texture reminiscent of sitar playing.

Start time 10am

Running time 1 hour 30 minutes, no interval

Presented by Darbar in partnership with Barbican
