About UDAY BHAWALKAR
Uday Bhawalkar is a leading dhrupad singer of the Dagar bani (school/style). he performs extensively in Asia, Europe, North America, and has colaborated with dancers and film makers, and has several albums in print. While studying Indian classical music as a boy in Ujjain, Uday longed to be a classical singer, and at last his dream began to unfold at 15 when he was selected to study at the Dhrupad Kendra in Bhopal. By the age of 18, he had begun to realise the depths and potential of this genre of music and since that time, he has devoted himself to developing the dhrupad genre – it has become his career and his life's purpose. Uday then lived and studied dhrupad for 12 years in the residences of his gurus, Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar and the rudra vina maestro Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar in Bhopal and Mumbai. His long training with his gurus in the rigorous practice of dhrupad helped Uday to appreciate the subtle nuances and majesty of this music.
