About Raga Bilaskhani Todi‐Khyal / Raga Mishra Bhairavi‐Tappa
Raga Bilaskhani Todi–Khyal / Raga Mishra Bhairavi–Tappa is a studio album by Hindustani classical vocalist Sulochana Brahaspati. The release features four tracks divided into two raga sections: Bilaskhani Todi and Mishra Bhairavi. The album appeared on CD in 1992 under an unspecified label.
The first three tracks present khyal compositions in Raga Bilaskhani Todi. The opening piece, Tohe Sada Niharun, adopts the vilambit ektal rhythm cycle. The second track, Damaru Naad, shifts to jhaptal. The third composition, Sajan More Aaye, returns to ektal in a drut tempo. The final track, Ai Najaaron Di Baharaan, delivers a tappa in Raga Mishra Bhairavi.
The album captures Brahaspati’s interpretation of semi-classical and classical forms, blending lyrical phrasing with rhythmic variation. The recording date, accompanying artists, and production details remain undocumented in available sources. The release serves as an example of late 20th-century Hindustani vocal tradition, emphasizing khyal and tappa styles.
