Dhrupad Gurukul Kathmandu

Welcome to Gurukul : Preserve and nurture Dhrupad—the oldest Hindustani classical music—through Guru-Shishya tradition.

Founded by Inoue Sou and Vishal Bhattarai, guided by Gundecha Brothers. Immerse in sound, meditation, and self-discovery. Inoue Sou and Vishal Bhattarai have trained in Dhrupad vocal under the able guidance of the Gundecha brothers, in the Dagarvani tradition at Dhrupad Sansthan Bhopal Nyas (2008-2013). In 2013, they established Dhrupad Gurukul Kathmandu in Nepal with the approval of their Gurus.

For the last 10 years, while they have been performing and teaching Dhrupad, they have also been imparting training of music to young, orphaned and underprivileged children in Nepal.

わたしは若い時に、　
たったひとつの音だけで音楽ができたらどんなにいいだろう、と思っていた。
実際いろいろ試したりもしたけれど、思い通りにはいかなかった。　

ドゥルパド-Dhrupad-のように、たったひとつの音の描写（ディテール）のために千年来、絶えず迫ろうと試みるような壮絶な音楽を自分は他に知らない。

ド・レ・ミ・ファ、とそれぞれの音には一応名前がつけられている。
丁度、あなたにも名前が一応つけられているように。　
　
でも、誰かさんがあなたの名前を知っているからといって、あなたのことを
ほんとうに知っていると言えるだろうか。
