  1. #Upcoming Quick 🧵 about a pair of archival recordings from #BlackTruffle. Many Western listeners were first introduced to the ancient North Indian #dhrupad tradition by the vocal duo, brothers Moinuddin and Aminuddin Dagar during their tour of Europe in 1964-65.

  2. Bahauddin Dakar performs on the rudra veena.

    “It is an ancient instrument rarely played today. The rudra veena declined in popularity in part due to the introduction in the early 19th century of the surbahar, which allowed sitarists to more easily present the alap sections of slow dhrupad-style ragas.” #Indian #ClassicalMusic #Dhrupad

  3. CW: Missing Wikipedia page

    I just discovered the Senior Dagar Brothers, and noticed that elder brother Moinuddin Dagar (1919-1966) doesn’t have a Wikipedia page, but the younger one does (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasir_Am).

    Another article to start in my copious free time?
