India’s
foremost Dhrupad exponents, the Gundecha Brothers – Umakant,
Ramakant and Akhilesh – presented two vocal concerts in San
Francisco and Houston to benefit the literacy projects under
the 5H Program. The trio of brothers had simply swept the audience
off their feet in both cities. The brothers have been the torchbearers
of this revival of the sacred music, which has its roots in
Sama Veda.

Accolades
“I’m so glad to know Dhrupad
is finding a wider audience. I hope 5H feels an enormous sense
of accomplishment, not only for that but for furthering the
synergy between their philosophy and classical music as a way
to experience the divine.”
- Joan Lichterman, San Francisco
"I enjoyed every minute of the concert. The brothers were like
one person, so synchronized in their singing. Thanks for putting
on a great show."
- Sailaja Chunduru, Houston
"The
dedication of the 5H group touched us so much that it brought
out this profound music from us."
- The Gundecha Brothers
