About
The Artists
 |
The renowned Hyderabad Brothers, Shri
Raghavachari Darury and Shri Seshachari Darury, hail from an
orthodox family. They underwent a systematic initial
training from their father, Sahitya Vidwan Daroor
Rathnamacharyulu and their mother Sulochana Devi. They later
perfected the art under Vidwan Susarla Sivaram at the
Government College of Music and Dance in Hyderabad. They
complement each other in knowledge and have voices that
blend. Their phenomenal success is due to their grip over
Shruthi (tune), Laya (rhythm), and Sahithya Bhava (meaning
and emotion), in addition to the rich and varied repertoire
they have. The brothers also perform solo, particularly for
All India Radio, but believe that their complementary skills
and voices produce music that is invigorating and exciting.
They have toured all over the world and have to their
credit, numerous commercial recordings that are a popular
favorite at record stores. The brothers were nominated as
the Asthana Vidwans of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham and are
they recipients of several awards.
