Raag Vachaspati, Pt. 3

\"Raag Vachaspati, Pt. 3\" is a live recording of a Hindustani classical performance featured as the twelfth track on the album Concert for Harmony & Peace (Live from Kala Festival 2023). The track runs for six minutes and twenty-five seconds. Artists Deepak Shah and Durjay Bhaumik performed the composition in the Raag Vachaspati framework, a melodic structure associated with the late evening or early night raag tradition in North Indian classical music.

The album captures a live concert held during the Kala Festival in 2023, though the recording released posthumously on August 1, 2025, under the label KalaSudha Ltd. The festival emphasized cross-cultural musical dialogue, and this track represents a collaborative interpretation of the raag. Specific instrumental or vocal roles for Shah and Bhaumik remain undocumented in available sources. The performance adheres to the improvisational alaap-jor-jhala progression typical of Raag Vachaspati, though no detailed breakdown of the track’s internal sections or thematic variations is publicly confirmed.

The broader album, Concert for Harmony & Peace, compiles selections from the 2023 festival, focusing on classical and fusion works. KalaSudha Ltd, a label specializing in Indian art music, distributed the release in digital and physical formats. No additional metadata about the recording venue, audience reception, or technical production credits is accessible. The track’s inclusion in the album aligns with the festival’s stated mission of promoting peace through classical traditions, though explicit program notes or artist statements on this piece are not recorded.
