About the Book
"डागर और ध्रुपद: दिव्य विरासत" (Dagars & Dhrupad: Divine Legacy) delves into the haunting and spiritual world of Dhrupad music, one of the oldest and most influential traditions in Hindustani classical music. This book captures the essence of Dhrupad, as explained by the legendary Faiyazuddin Dagar (1934-1989), who described the two sections of Dhrupad: the Alap, sung in free rhythm over a drone, and the Pada, a rhythmic poem accompanied by drumming on the Pakhawaj, a traditional percussion instrument.
Humra Quraishi beautifully traces the lineage of the illustrious Dagar family through 20 generations of Dhrupad singers, showcasing their unique approach to this revered art form. The book offers a rich narrative of the family's musical heritage and their significant contribution to the preservation and evolution of Dhrupad music over centuries.
This work is not just a tribute to the Dagar family's legacy but also a deep exploration of the spiritual and devotional nature of Dhrupad. Rare photographs of the family and their musical journey enhance the book, making it a unique and valuable addition to any music lover’s collection. The book also highlights the essence of Dhrupad as it continues to captivate audiences worldwide, preserving a 15-century-old tradition that is still alive today.
