Raga Abhogi Kanada: That - Kafi, Taal - Jhaptaal

Ragas Desi Todi Abhogi Kanada is a studio album featuring Hindustani classical vocal performances by brothers Salamat Ali Khan and Sharafat Ali Khan. The album released in 1991 under the label Weston in CD format.

The album includes two primary raga presentations. The second track presents Raga Abhogi Kanada, set to That Kafi and rendered in Jhaptaal, a 10-beat rhythmic cycle. The Khans employ the khayal style, a dominant form in North Indian classical music, characterized by improvisational elaboration (alaap) followed by fixed compositions (bandish). The track duration falls within the 75–100 minute range, though precise timing remains undocumented in available sources.

Salamat Ali Khan (1934–2001) and Sharafat Ali Khan (1932–1985) belonged to the Sham Chaurasia gharana, a school known for its intricate taan patterns and emotive phrasing. Their collaboration on this recording occurred posthumously for Sharafat Ali Khan, with the album compiled from archival or previously unreleased material. The liner notes or production details do not specify the accompanying artists, though traditional tabla and tanpura support is implied by the genre conventions.

The release forms part of Weston’s catalog of Indian classical music, which distributed recordings by prominent 20th-century vocalists and instrumentalists. No reissues or remastered editions of this specific album are confirmed in public records. The original CD pressing remains the sole documented format.
