Gat Pilu

Gat Pilu is a composition recorded by sitarist Ustad Enayat Khan and released posthumously as part of the album Prof. Enayet Khan & Ustad Alauddin Khan. The track appears as the second entry on the compilation, with a duration of 3 minutes and 24 seconds. The album emerged under the Megaphone label on September 30, 2020, distributed exclusively in digital media format.

Enayat Khan performed the piece in the Pilu raga, a traditional framework within Hindustani classical music. The recording captures his sitar rendition, though specific session details—including accompanying artists, recording location, or original performance date—remain undocumented in available sources. The album pairs Enayat Khan’s work with contributions from his father and guru, Ustad Alauddin Khan, though their collaborations on individual tracks are not explicitly delineated in the release metadata.

The 2020 compilation serves as an archival presentation of historical recordings by both musicians. Megaphone did not provide liner notes or production credits, leaving the provenance of the source material unclear. The tracklist emphasizes instrumental performances, with Gat Pilu representing a concise example of Enayat Khan’s interpretive style within the gat (fixed composition) tradition of sitar recitals.

No commercial singles or alternate versions of Gat Pilu are associated with this release. The album’s digital distribution marks one of several posthumous collections featuring Enayat Khan’s work, though its reception and chart performance—if any—are not publicly recorded. The label’s catalog focuses on preserving legacy recordings of Indian classical artists, with this release aligning with that objective.
