Late Aacharya Sudama Prasad Dwivedi - The Founder of Suhane Geet Archives
11 July 1922 - 27 July 1995
Aacharya Sudama Prasad Dwivedi, was a person of multi faceted talents. He was
Educationalist, Writer, Poet, Dramatist, Indian Classical Musician and an
Astrologer of international fame. Collection of Indian Music records was his
another hobby. On his first death Anniversary on 27th July 1996, a book 'Shesh..
Nishes.. (Aacharya Dwivedi Smriti Granth)' containing about 400 pages was
published which included selected pieces of his published and unpublished
creations in the fields of Poetry, Drama, Music and Astrology. On the same day,
ADCF (Aacharya Dwivedi Cultural Foundation) was established with a view to
further research, collect and organize his creations in all the fields which are
scattered around with his friends and disciples all over the globe. 'Suhane Geet
Archives' is a collateral wing of the ADCF, to take care of the huge collection
of Vinyl's and Tapes collected by Aacharya Dwivedi during 1935 to 1995. He had
started his record collection at the tender age of 13 in 1935, when he was first
gifted with a Gramophone (Choodi Wala Baja) and few records (Tawa's) by his
father, the then Zamindar in a Riyasat in Central India . The 'Suhane Geet
Archives' has been constantly organizing, cleaning, handling, digitizing and
maintaining the database of this massive music collection of more than 30000
songs. It has been decided by the ADCF that this Treasure of rare songs from the
Bygone Era be introduced to all for the purpose of Education, discussions and
information on a purely 'Non Profit Organization' basis.

Dr. Robert Black : Our friend in Brussels, Belgium. A
Sound Engineer by profession. He has helped us to recover, repair and has
practically given a re-birth to hundreds of songs, which were recorded from
badly damaged and scratchy 78 RPM records and were really not audible. Dr. Black
does not understand a single word of Hindi or Urdu, but in his own words, -
"Indian music is the most melodious I have ever listened". Our sincere thanks to
all the tedious work he has done to revive the rare music of bygone era.
