About Jog (raga): Teen-tal drut

Inde du Nord: L’art de la vichitra vîna is a studio album released on June 3, 2002, under the Ocora label. The recording features the vichitra vîna, a fretless slide instrument central to the Hindustani classical tradition. The album presents a selection of ragas performed in the dhrupad and instrumental styles characteristic of North Indian classical music.

The third track, titled Jog, spans 9 minutes and 27 seconds. Gopal Krishan performs on the vichitra vîna, accompanied by Latif Ahmed Khan on the pakhavaj. The composition follows Raga Jog and adopts teen-tal, a 16-beat rhythmic cycle, rendered in drut (fast) tempo. The track exemplifies the intricate interplay between melody and percussion in the dhrupad ang tradition.

The album format is CD. Additional details about the recording sessions, production personnel, or liner notes remain undocumented in the provided context. The release aligns with Ocora’s focus on traditional and folk music from global cultures, with particular emphasis on acoustic instrumentation and improvisational structures.
