Bilaskhani Todi: Drut tin-tal

Inde du Nord: Sitar is a studio album of North Indian classical music released by the French label Ocora in March 2000. The recording features sitarist Kushal Das as the primary artist. The album presents traditional khayal-style renditions and instrumental compositions rooted in the Hindustani classical tradition.

The fourth track, titled Raga Bilaskhani Todi: Drut Tin-Tal, spans 13 minutes and 12 seconds. Kushal Das performs the piece in the drut (fast) tempo section of Raga Bilaskhani Todi, a variant of the Todi thaat known for its intricate melodic phrasing and emotional depth. The composition adheres to the 16-beat tin-tal rhythmic cycle, a structure commonly employed in North Indian classical music. The track showcases Das’s technical command of the sitar alongside the expressive nuances characteristic of the gayaki ang (vocal-style) approach to instrumental performance.

The album format is a compact disc. Ocora, a subsidiary of Radio France, produced the release as part of its series documenting global traditional and classical music. Additional details about the accompanying artists, recording location, or production personnel remain undocumented in the available context. The tracklist sequence and total runtime of the full album are not specified beyond the included track.
