About Dadra - Kaahe Satavo Mohe Sanvariya Re

\"Dadra – Kaahe Satavo Mohe Sanvariya Re\" is a traditional Hindustani classical vocal composition featured on the compilation album Golden Heritage. The track runs for 10 minutes and 49 seconds and appears as the fourth entry on the release. The recording showcases a dadra, a light-classical form characterized by its rhythmic structure and romantic or devotional themes.

The performance features two prominent artists of the 20th century: Ustad Amir Khan and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. Khan’s rendition exemplifies the Indore gharana style, known for its emphasis on slow, meditative khayal development, while Bade Ghulam Ali Khan represents the Patiala gharana, recognized for its powerful vocal delivery and intricate taan patterns. The exact recording date remains undocumented, but the track was remastered and included in the 2013 compilation.

Golden Heritage was released on February 15, 2013 by Times Music in digital media format. The album compiles archival recordings of Indian classical vocalists, spanning multiple gharanas and eras. The label provided no additional production credits or session details for this specific track. The lyrics follow the Braj Bhasha dialect, a common linguistic choice in dadra compositions, with the central theme revolving around longing and devotion.

The track’s structure adheres to the dadra tala, a six-beat rhythmic cycle. Instrumental accompaniment, if present, is not explicitly credited in the release metadata. The compilation received distribution primarily through digital platforms, targeting audiences of Hindustani classical music. No live performance context or original studio session information is available for this recording.
