About Raag Bhimpalasi, Jhaptal

Englobed is a collaborative album released in digital media format on August 30, 2012. The project features Italian guitarist Giuliano Modarelli and Indian classical vocalist and harmonium player Bhupinder Chaggar. The release explores fusions of North Indian classical music with Western instrumental approaches.

The second track, titled Raag Bhimpalasi, spans 12 minutes and 15 seconds. Modarelli and Chaggar perform the composition in Jhaptal, a 10-beat rhythmic cycle common in Hindustani classical tradition. The track retains the melodic framework of Raag Bhimpalasi, characterized by its late afternoon or early evening association in the Indian classical repertoire. Instrumental and vocal elements interweave throughout the performance, though specific arrangement details remain undocumented in available sources.

The album emerged as part of a cross-cultural exchange initiative, though the precise recording location, production team, and label affiliation are not publicly specified. No physical media release accompanied the digital distribution. Additional tracks or contributing artists beyond Modarelli and Chaggar are not confirmed in the provided context.
