About the Artist
From Masters of Raga by Joep Bor and Philippe Bruguiere: The first time Mohinuddin and Aminuddin Dagar came to Europe for a concert tour in the mid-sixties, dhrupad was perhaps at its lowest ebb in India. The appreciative response of Western audiences was beyond expectation, and their performances in Venice, Berlin and Paris are still engraved in the memories of those present. The Dagar Brothers, as they are known, belonged to a prestigious family of dhrupad singers whose founder was Baba Gopal Das, a Hindu who is said to have converted to Islam at the time of Emperor Muhammad Shah. His younger son Behram Khan established himself in Jaipur, where he became a court musician of great repute. He taught his brother's grandsons Allabande and Zakiruddin Khan who used to sing together, quickly asserting themselves as the foremost dhrupad vocalists of their time. Zakiruddin, an erudite musician, was offered the privileged rank of first court musician in Udaipur, whereas his brother was employed at Alwar court. A report from the first All India Music Conference held in Baroda in 1916 praises the two brothers' vocal duet. Musicologist Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande was deeply impressed by Zakiruddin's knowledge, and so was the renowned binkar Bande Ali Khan, who gave the brothers his two daughters in marriage.
