Mohi Bahauddin Dagar is an instrumentalist, singer and educator from one of India’s most revered hereditary lineages, of which he represents the 20th generation. The Dagars have long been connected with the contemplative and introspective dhrupad style of Hindustani (North Indian) vocal music, and Mohi Bahauddin Dagat is widely recognised as a virtuoso performer on the rudra veena. In 2012, Dagar received the Sangeet Natak Akademi award from India’s National Academy of Music, Dance, and Drama, one of the highest recognitions for Indian performing artists. Dagar’s work as a performer and educator aims to reinvigorate dhrupad through innovations in style, teaching methods and instrumentation.
