Kaum Fande Mope Daal Gayo and Ja Re Balama To Se Nahin Bolun

Soaring Heights, Vol. 2 is a studio album of Hindustani classical vocal music released by Sanjeev Abhyankar in 1993. The label Saregama issued the recording on compact disc as part of its classical music catalog. The album features two extended khayal compositions in the traditional dhrupad-ang and khayal styles, showcasing Abhyankar’s training in the Mewati gharana under Pandit Jasraj.

The second track spans 28 minutes and 26 seconds and includes two bandish compositions: Kaun Fande Mope Daal Gayo and Ja Re Balama To Se Nahin Bolun. The performance adheres to the raga framework, with Abhyankar executing alaap, jor, and jhala before progressing to the composed sections. Accompaniment details remain undocumented in available sources, though the format typically includes tabla and tanpura support. The recording captures the artist’s early career phase, predating his wider recognition in the 1990s and 2000s.

The album title Soaring Heights reflects a thematic series by Saregama, though specific curatorial criteria for Volume 2 are not publicly disclosed. The 1993 release date positions it among Abhyankar’s initial commercial recordings, following his formal debut in the late 1980s. No reissues or digital remasters of this volume have been confirmed as of the latest available records.
