THE LOVE OF MUSIC MOVES THE WORLD
TRIBUTE TO USTAD WASIFUDDIN DAGAR
During my diplomatic assignment, as Dy. Director of the Hungarian Cultural Centre in New Delhi, India (1992-1997)I had the privilege to know the most eminent Artists and their families of the eternal Indian Vedic culture.
Ustad Wasifuddin Dagar and his family were very important to me and for my Family.
Now it gives me a great honor to share with you THE DHRUPAD IN HUNGARY. Wasif was kind to have three concerts in Hungary in 1998, one at Budapest Fészek Club, another at Nagykanizsa, and a third at Székesfehérvár.
Dear Friends and Lovers of India! please enjoy the attached life concert from my Archive.

Yours sincerely:

Dhrupad is a genre in Hindustani classical music from the Indian subcontinent. It is the oldest known style of major vocal styles associated with Hindustani classical music, Haveli Sangeet of Pushtimarg Sampraday and also related to the South Indian Carnatic tradition. It is a term of Sanskrit origin, derived from dhruva (ध्रुव, immovable, permanent) and pada (पद, verse). The roots of Dhrupad are ancient. It is discussed in the Hindu Sanskrit text Natyashastra (~200 BCE – 200 CE), and other ancient and medieval Sanskrit texts, such as chapter 33 of Book 10 in the Bhagavata Purana (~800–1000 CE), where the theories of music and devotional songs for Krishna are summarized.
