“Shāshwat”—Eternal. Such are the music and values of the legendary musician Pandit Kumar Gandharva. An offering of music to the musical genius for the milestone of his birth centenary, Shāshwat celebrates Gandharva’s exemplary life and musical legacy.
Pandit Kumar Gandharva’s timeless music bridged dualities, assimilating the best from tradition and modernity, from both classical and folk traditions. Kumar-ji lives on in the hearts of disciples and rasikas, through the sheer bliss of his art.
Kumar-ji’s unique compositions are played by his prashishyas (grand-disciples): Sawani Mudgal and Khushal Sharma. Their guru, Pandit Madhup Mudgal, is a prime disciple of Pandit Kumar Gandharva, and the guru passed on a rich legacy that carries forward through them.
