Dhrupad is the oldest surviving classical musical tradition in North India. It twas used in the recitation of Vedic hymns, and has gradually developed into an independent art form with its own grammar. Originally sung in temples, it has flourished under the Mughal and Rajput kings.
A Dhrupad concert is divided into two parts of unequal duration : the alap and dhrupad. The alap is the improvisational phase during which the singer develops each note of a raga. The second part is a sung poem. The accuracy of the voice of sound frequencies and micro-tones are the essence of Dhrupad.
