Bandish Ye Kya Kariye, Pee Ke Sang - Kayal in Drut Teentaal

Bandish Ye Kya Kariye, Pee Ke Sang – Kayal in Drut Teentaal is a khayal performance in the raga Kaushi Kanada by Hindustani classical vocalist Ustad Rashid Khan. The track appears as the second composition on the album Selection Kaushi Kanada. Released in an unspecified year, the album compiles Khan’s interpretations of the raga in the khayal form, a staple of North Indian classical music.

The performance spans 14 minutes and 4 seconds. Khan renders the bandish (composition) Ye Kya Kariye, Pee Ke Sang in drut teentaal, a fast-paced 16-beat rhythmic cycle. The track showcases his command of taan (melodic improvisation), bol-banao (lyrical embellishment), and the intricate gayaki (vocal style) associated with the Rampur-Sahaswan gharana. Accompaniment details, including tabla or harmonium artists, remain undocumented in available sources.

The album Selection Kaushi Kanada focuses on the raga Kaushi Kanada, a derivative of Mian Ki Malhar known for its emotive depth and use of komal re (flattened second) and komal dha (flattened sixth). Khan’s rendition adheres to the raga’s structural conventions while incorporating his signature phrasing. The recording format and label for the release are not specified in public records.

Khan, a disciple of Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan and a torchbearer of the Rampur-Sahaswan tradition, received the Padma Shri (1994) and Padma Bhushan (2006) for his contributions to Hindustani music. His performances of Kaushi Kanada remain influential in contemporary khayal repertoire, though exact reception details for this track are not widely cataloged.
