About Raag Madhuvanti ; Teen Taal
Raag Madhuvanti ; Teen Taal is a 2025 studio recording of North Indian classical music by sitarist Deepak Shah. The release features a single composition in Raag Madhuvanti set to Teen Taal, a 16-beat rhythmic cycle. KalaSudha Ltd produced and distributed the work under its classical music imprint.
Deepak Shah performed the sitar as the sole instrumentalist on the recording. The label announced the track for official release on May 28, 2025, coinciding with a live launch event on the same date. The composition adheres to the traditional khayal style of Hindustani classical music, with an alaap, jor, and jhala preceding the rhythmic gat section in Teen Taal.
The recording spans a continuous performance without track divisions, totaling one indexed entry on the release. KalaSudha Ltd promoted the work as part of its 2025 classical series, though additional production details such as recording location, accompanying artists, or session dates remain undisclosed. The label’s catalog lists the release under its instrumental classical section.
Notable elements of the performance include Shah’s interpretation of Raag Madhuvanti, a melodic framework associated with the late evening or early night raag classification. The Teen Taal accompaniment follows the standard theka pattern, though specific percussion credits or tabla artist contributions are not documented in available sources. The release format includes digital distribution, with physical media availability unconfirmed as of the announcement date.
