About Raag Adana

Raag Adana is a track performed by sarangi virtuoso Suhail Yusuf Khan, tabla player Sarvar Sabri, and sarangi legends Sabri Khan and Kamal Sabri. The composition appears as the fourth track on the collaborative album The Generations Series – The Sabri Family, released on June 10, 2008 under the Times Music label. The album adopts a CD format and showcases intergenerational performances within the Sabri musical lineage.

The track spans 6 minutes and 38 seconds and exemplifies the dhrupad-influenced rendition of Raag Adana, a raga traditionally associated with the late evening or early night raag repertoire in Hindustani classical music. The recording features Suhail Yusuf Khan on lead sarangi, accompanied by Sabri Khan and Kamal Sabri on secondary sarangi passages, while Sarvar Sabri provides rhythmic support on tabla. The arrangement emphasizes the alaap-jor-jhala structure, with gradual tempo acceleration and intricate taan exchanges between the sarangi players.

The album The Generations Series – The Sabri Family documents the artistic continuum of the Sabri gharana, a family renowned for sarangi and vocal traditions in North Indian classical music. The release date and label affiliation confirm its commercial distribution in India and international markets. No additional production credits or session details are publicly documented for this specific track.
