Raag Charukesi, Jor, Jhalla

Englobed is a collaborative album released on August 30, 2012, in digital media format. The project features Italian guitarist Giuliano Modarelli and Indian classical vocalist Kamaljeet Ahluwalia. The album explores fusions of North Indian classical music with Western instrumental traditions.

The fifth track, titled Raag Charukesi, Jor, Jhalla, spans 10 minutes and 58 seconds. The composition follows the structure of Raag Charukesi, a Carnatic janya raga derived from the 26th melakarta scale, though the performance incorporates elements of Hindustani classical improvisation. Modarelli contributes guitar interpretations of the jor (middle-tempo development) and jhalla (fast-paced climax) sections, while Ahluwalia provides vocal renditions aligned with the raga’s ascending and descending phrases. The track omits lyricism in favor of instrumental and vocal interplay.

The album label remains undocumented in available sources. No additional production credits, session details, or alternate releases are confirmed. The recording emphasizes live-take spontaneity, with minimal post-production processing evident in the final mix. Further context regarding the album’s reception, touring, or subsequent reissues is not publicly verified.
