Raag Todi

Raag Todi is a khayal-based rendition in the Todi raga performed by vocalist Omkar Dadarkar. The track appears as the second composition on the album Raag Ahir Bhairon & Todi, released on June 20, 2015. The recording spans 17 minutes and 36 seconds and follows the traditional vilambit-eka (slow tempo) and drut-teentaal (fast tempo in 16-beat cycle) structure characteristic of North Indian classical music.

The album was issued in CD format. No label information is provided in the available context. Dadarkar’s interpretation emphasizes the raga’s komal re (flattened second) and komal dha (flattened sixth) swaras, adhering to the Todi thaat. The performance includes alaap, jor, and jhala sections followed by two bandishes (compositions) set to teentaal. Specific lyrical or compositional details of the bandishes remain undocumented in the given context.

The release pairs Raag Todi with Raag Ahir Bhairon as a dual-raga presentation, a common format in Hindustani classical albums. Dadarkar’s vocal technique incorporates meend (gliding notes), gamak (oscillations), and layered taan patterns. The accompanying artists, if any, are not listed in the available sources. The album serves as a documented example of Dadarkar’s approach to the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, though explicit gharana affiliation is not confirmed in the provided context.
