About Selection Kaushi Kanada
Selection Kaushi Kanada is a studio album by Indian classical vocalist Ustad Rashid Khan. Released in an unspecified year, the album presents a collection of khayal compositions centered on Raga Kaushi Kanada and related ragas. The recording label remains undocumented in available sources.
The album features four primary tracks. Khan performs Raga Kaushi Kanada with the bandish Naina Bharoon, followed by Kajra So Hai, a khayal in Teentaal set to madhyalaya (medium tempo). The third track includes Ye Kya Kariye and Pee Ke Sang, the latter rendered as a khayal in drut Teentaal (fast tempo). The final track explores Raga Charukeshi with the bandish Palaka Na Lagi Mori Guiyan, also in Teen Taal at madhyalaya speed. Additional compositions such as Raga Barwan, Bol Prem Baje Mori, and Payelia (a drut Teentaal khayal) are included, though their exact placement in the tracklist varies across sources.
Khan’s performance emphasizes the Patiala-Kasur gharana style, characterized by intricate taan patterns and emotive phrasing. The accompaniment details, including tabla or harmonium artists, are not specified in the available documentation. The album format is presumed to be a physical or digital release, though the original medium (CD, cassette, or digital download) is not confirmed. No live recording or reissue information is recorded.
The selection highlights Khan’s interpretation of semi-classical and classical bandishes, with a focus on the vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) sections of khayal gayaki. Further metadata, including production credits, recording location, or liner notes, is not publicly accessible.
