100 years ago the Maharaja of Udaipur, H.H Maharaja Bhupal Singh, whom you see on the cover, was most likely calling his finest court musician Ustad Ziauddin Dagar to sing before him as he usually did. Ziauddin’s sons were not born yet but later on they would often join their father in performance before the king. 50 years later, on April 12 1968, Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar received a visit from H.H. Laxman Singh Bahadur, the Maharaja of Dungarpur in his apartment in Chembur. Something very special happened that day. It felt like Ustad was transported back to the time when his father was playing before his Maharaja in Udaipur.
Ustad and his brother Fariduddin started with a vocal and rudra veena duet in raga Multani and after that they sang very old, very rare and very beautiful Dhrupad compositions for more than one hour, some of them even composed by Tansen at Akbars court in the 16th century. Luckily I had my Nagra tape recorder at hand so now you can take part in this once-in-a-lifetime event as the album DHRUPAD is out in digital format. At the same time we release an album with Raag KALAVATI (CEX20) recorded later that same year by Ustad Fariduddin Dagar plus one more unique recording, a one-and-a-half-hour morning duet between two great singers from different branches of the Dagar family tree, Rahim Fahimuddin Dagar and Zia Fariduddin Dagar. KOMAL RI ASAVARI (CEX22).

Mastered by Claes Persson, CRP Recordings.
