Notes

Born in Bettiah (Bihar) in 1957, Indra Kishore Mishra belongs to an important family of Dhrupad singers, the oldest Indian classical music. Educated in the traditional way (Guru Shishya parampara), he has received from his forefathers many important compositions in dhrupad, dhamar, hori. His family is the last known to sing the dhrupad of the Khandarbani and Gohar vanis. His ancestors, court singers to the Moghul emperors, left Delhi at the end of the 18th century, when most of the dhrupadyas left the capital, just as the Mallick family went to Oudh. Residing in one of the most segregated areas of Northern India and living a peaceful life away from modern urban strife, he has kept his tradition alive.
Very different from the Dhrupad of the Dagars. Excellent singer with a very flexible voice singing with elan.
