LEGACY
The Junior Dagar BrothersThe younger or junior Dagar brothers Nasir Zahiruddin (1933-1994) and Nasir Faiyazuddin(1934-1989) were born in Indore (Madhya Pradesh). Their father and the great vocalist Ustad Nasiruddin Khan died in 1936, consequently they learned dhrupad from their elder brothers, the senior Dagar Brothers, Ustad Nasir Moinuddin Dagar and Ustad Nasir Aminuddin Dagar.

TRAINING
They continued the dagarvani jugalbandhi tradition after the early demise of Ustad Nasir Moinuddin Dagar.Dagar Brothers played a very important role in the revival of Dhrupad tradition, carrying forward the great work done by their elder brothers. They also trained many students including Ustad Faiyaz Wasifuddin Dagar, the son of Nasir Faiyazuddin Dagar who is keeping the family tradition alive along with other dagarvani exponents.
DISCOGRAPHY
Unlike the elder brothers, the younger brothers are well recorded and several of their albums are avialable. See the dhrupad recordings page for an incomplete list.
