Prassanna Vishwanathan — Dhrupad Vocal
with Sukhad Munde on Pakhawaj
An evening of Dhrupad — the oldest surviving tradition of Indian Rāga music — with vocalist Prassanna Vishwanathan and renowned Pakhawaj artist Sukhad Munde.
Rooted in meditative sound and silence, Dhrupad is a profound musical tradition that emerged from ancient temple and devotional practices in North India. Through expansive improvisation, subtle intonation, and deep resonance, the music unfolds as both a refined art form and a contemplative experience.
A senior disciple of Pandit Uday Bhawalkar, Prassanna Vishwanathan carries forward the living essence of the Dhrupad tradition through performances and teaching across India and Europe. His music invites listeners into an immersive sonic landscape where breath, vibration, and stillness merge.
Accompanying him on the Pakhawaj — the ancient barrel drum traditionally paired with Dhrupad — is Sukhad Munde, one of today’s foremost exponents of this rare rhythmic tradition. Trained by his father and Guru Pandit Manik Munde, he has performed extensively throughout India and internationally, bringing extraordinary depth and precision to the Dhrupad form.
Together, the artists offer an intimate journey into one of the world’s most ancient and transformative musical traditions.
