SANGEET KENDRA
Opposite the Underbridge,Shahibaug,Ahmedabad-38004. India Phone:2863445

Sangeet Kendra was established in 1948 for the conservation of Indian music. It is a non-profit organization which is focused on 20th Century Hindustani vocal music.

As an offering to Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande, whose methodology, insight and non-partisan approach has been the source of our inspiration, we present selected material from our archives. The content is musically and historically relevent. It has been minimally restored and remains unedited to maintain its original identity.

Our first Publication presents 6 masters representing Dhrupad, Khayal and Thumri.


The cds are available online through www.sudeepaudio.com/sur_aur_saaz.htm and www.underscorerecords.com
