In 1947, Sangeet Kendra (Centre for Music) located in Ahmedabad, India, initiated a programme to promote the tradition of Indian art music.

After the second world war, magnetic tape recorders were available in India. Sangeet Kendra took advantage of this opportunity and documented comprehensively the various genres and vocal styles as represented by the best and authentic masters of the time.

Today, Sangeet Kendra has approximately 500 hours of music which gives music students and researchers to have access to the Hindustani Classical Music of the last century.

In addition, Sangeet Kendra has recordings of invaluable live concerts, an excellent collection of 78 RPMs dating back to the early days of the Gramaphone in India. It also has LPs of the great masters of the North and South. The material of the archives has been now digitised by Sudeep Audio and is supported by a detailed database.

Sangeet Kendra holds music concerts at its venue. These are organised by SudeepAudio.com.

Research and listening facilities are available at the centre in Ahmedabad. Selected material is going to be published soon.
