    PANDIT.DILIP CHANDRA VEDI

    Dilip Chandra Vedi was born in 1901 and a contemporary of famous


    musicians like Omkarnath Thakur, Bade Gulam Ali Khan, Inayat Khan (sitar)
    and Nasiruddin Khan Dagar (dhrupad). The latter two were his close friends,
    he often travelled throughout India in their company, going to music
    festivals or ‘conferences’.

    Vediji was a versatile musician and won many prizes in his prime. However,
    like so many other stalwards, he was not alert to the importance of making
    good deals with the recording companies. A few of his recordings are
    available (on this page), but they are not very well done. They do give an
    impression of his style though. He had been trained initially under Uttam
    Singh, dhrupadiya of the Tilwandi gharana of Panjab. After him, he became
    a disciple of Bhaskar Rao Bakhle. Vediji was a great fan of Bhaskar Rao and
    always remained devoted to his style. The essence of it can be heard in
    Vediji’s music: smoothly carved musical images of the raga. There are no
    jerks in this music. Bhaskar Rao died when Vediji was only 21, but the
    impression was everlasting. The training was not complete and he was
    accepted as a disciple by the great Faiyaz Khan, who was a gurubhai of
    Bhaskar Rao. Vediji also learned with Alladiya Khan, the great doyen of
    Jaipur gharana. Alladiya Khan and Bhaskar Rao had been very close friends –
    so much that Alladiya Khan wanted to stop singing when Bhaskar Rao died.

    Dilip Chandra Vedi was a musician who could not tolerate degradation in
    music and who fought mediochrity. Many musicians feared him, for he
    would not hesitate to challenge anyone who, in Vediji’s eyes, was abusing
    the raga-s. Even a great stalward like OMkarnath Thakur had to endure such
    public criticisms on several occasions.

    Vediji stopped performing in the late 1960s, his voice started faltering. From
    that time onward he devoted himself to teaching, to research projects and
    to advisory functions. He has disciples all over the world.

    Dilip Chandra Vedi passed away on the 13th of November 1992
