      abstract = {This is a warm portrait of one of the most revered musical  families in India, in which the cherished tradition of  dhrupad vocal music is passed on from father to son. The  Dagar brothers are handsome, affable young men at home in  contemporary India. Yet they sit cross legged on a carpeted  floor submitting to the instructions of their father, hour  after hour, day after day, in order to master the complex  tonalities of this demanding music. Their musical tradition  has been passed on orally from father to son, kept alive  for thousands of years without the aid of writing. Singing  Between Two Worlds presents for the first time on film an  in-depth look at the extraordinary approach to musical  training fundamental to the classical music of India. This  method is known as the guru shishya parampara. Through it,  the Dagar brothers devote their lives to learning dhrupad  vocal music, and strive to take their place among the  twentieth generation of their family to have mastered this  tradition. Viewers will gain an appreciation not only of  the demands but also of the beauty of Indian classical  music.},
