Raag Pancham

Raag Pancham is a track from the album The Generations Series – The Sabri Family, released on CD by Times Music in 2008. The composition features a collaboration between four artists: Sarvar Sabri on tabla, Suhail Yusuf Khan on sarangi, Sabri Khan on sarangi, and Kamal Sabri on sarangi. The track spans 7 minutes and 34 seconds and appears as the fifth entry on the album.

The album documents the Sabri family’s lineage in Indian classical music, showcasing multiple generations of musicians. Sabri Khan (1927–2015) established the family’s prominence in sarangi performance, while Kamal Sabri and Sarvar Sabri continued the tradition as his sons. Suhail Yusuf Khan, a disciple of the Sabri gharana, contributes as a guest artist. The recording emphasizes the sarangi’s expressive range and the rhythmic support of the tabla.

The track title references Raag Pancham, a lesser-documented raga in the Hindustani tradition. The performance structure follows classical conventions, though specific compositional details remain undocumented in available sources. The album’s production aligns with Times Music’s focus on archival and family-centric classical releases during the late 2000s.

No additional session musicians or production personnel are credited in the primary release metadata. The album’s liner notes, if included, may provide further context on the raga’s interpretation or the artists’ improvisational approaches, but this information is not publicly verified.
