He is the world’s leading master of the rudra veena (‘roaring veena’), still considered by many to be the king of Indian instruments. Though rare today, its even, austere tone remains linked with a certain universal purity, close to the essence of Indian classical. Some trace the Dagar family lineage back to master musicians of the 16th century, and Bahauddin first studied under his father Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar. He describes the relationship: “His method of teaching was subtle and mysterious...he would give a student a few key phrases that captured its soul. Then he would ask him to work on them till the spirit of the raga revealed itself. And, we did find that once we had mastered the key to a raga, the whole raga opened itself up effortlessly when we sat down to play.” Bahauddin’s musical style is marked by an unobtrusive eloquence, and he regularly performs with no accompaniment, harking back to a pre-technological age when musicians played longer and slower. But he also draws creative energy from Dhrupad’s status as a living form - it may be India’s oldest surviving style of classical music, but many consider it to be the most highly evolved by virtue of this. He has a reputation for high-quality teaching across the global veena community. In his words, “each instrument has its own pace of life. A beenkar must never be in a hurry”.

"Once the veena is tuned in keeping with the chosen raga’s features, there is no going back. The microtones start issuing orders. I am neither a religious person, nor an atheist, but I have seen this happening. Veena demands total surrender." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adi Basant is an older form of the more prevalent Raag Basant (‘Springtime’), named for its intimate connection to the ceremonies of that season. Many scholars see Adi Basant as the latter’s medieval ‘ancestor’, highlighting its prevalence in Dhrupad as well as Haveli Sangeet, a Dhrupad-infused classical style that took root in the cultural townhouses of Uttar Pradesh. It is associated with the pre-dawn hours, and as such is rare on concert stages outside India. It ascends with a sparse, wide shape, with the swaras SGmDN (somewhat reminiscent of Gorakh Kalyan’s SRmD ascent, another raga derived from the folk music of Uttar Pradesh). While ma and Sa make for a simple vadi-samvadi (‘king and queen’ note) pairing, complex, vakra (‘zigzag’) melodies can be built in the descending line, which allows for the use of both Ma and both Re swaras in addition to all the tones of the ascent. It is similar to Raag Pancham. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recorded by Darbar in 2019, on location in West India: -Ustad Bahauddin Dagar (rudra veena) -Shibu Muity (tanpura) Technical team credit: Jagdeep Shah (DOP) Sandeep Virdee (location sound) Nirmal Singh (360 editor) Christoph Bracher (ambisonic sound dubbing) Narvir Singh (assistant editor) Munshi Chohan (runner) Shivaji Shirke (village surpanch) Sunita Khandu Gore (catering) Special thanks to Sherna Chatterjee & Mortimer Chatterjee Darbar believes in the power of Indian classical arts to stir, thrill and inspire.
