About Raag Multani

Raag Multani is a khayal performance in the Hindustani classical tradition recorded by vocalist Omkar Dadarkar. The track appears as the second composition on the album Raag Bhimpalasi & Multani, released in 2015 on compact disc. The recording spans 42 minutes and 7 seconds, showcasing an elaborate exposition of Raag Multani in the vilambit and drut laya frameworks.

Omkar Dadarkar presents the raga with an alap that establishes the melodic contours of Multani, a raga from the Todi thaat characterized by the use of komal re, komal ga, shuddha ma, and komal ni. The performance progresses through jor and jhala before transitioning into bandish renditions in teen tal. The accompanying artists and instrumentalists for this recording remain undocumented in the available context.

The album Raag Bhimpalasi & Multani pairs this track with a preceding rendition of Raag Bhimpalasi, also performed by Dadarkar. The release date is confirmed as 2015, though the producing label is not specified in the provided details. The format is a physical CD, and no digital reissues or alternate editions are noted in the existing references.

Dadarkar’s interpretation of Multani adheres to the Gayaki ang, emphasizing lyrical phrasing and gamak taans. The track omits tarana or other lighter forms, focusing instead on the raga’s contemplative and introspective mood.
