Umakant Gundecha and Ramakant Gundecha, known as the Gundecha Brothers, are leading Dagarvani dhrupad singers. They always sing together.

After training for four years, they performed in public for the first time in May 1985, at the Uttaradhikar dance and music festival in Bhopal.

Umakant and Ramakant have good voices with strong lower registers, and sing with a less aggressive style than the Dagar singers – perhaps inherited from Zia Mohiuddin, Rudra veena player, who championed very slow music.

The Gundecha Brothers have come to be regarded as a third force on par with the senior and junior Dagars.

As well as being an integral part of all of India's prestigious music festivals, the Brothers have also performed at many important international music festivals and institutions in Europe, U.S.A, Australia, Singapore, Bangladesh, U.A.E and Hongkong.
