About Raga bhairavi: Dadra taal

Ragas Marwa & Bhairavi: Live at the Kufa Gallery, London, June, 1993 is a live album by sitarist Rais Khan. Khan recorded the performance at the Kufa Gallery in London in June 1993. Navras Records released the album on compact disc.

The album features two raga performances. The second track presents Raga Bhairavi set to Dadra taal. Khan performs the composition with a duration of 17 minutes and 29 seconds. The recording captures Khan’s interpretation of the raga, emphasizing alankars and improvisational taans characteristic of the Bhairavi thaat. The album does not specify accompanying artists, though live sitar performances of this period typically included tabla and tanpura support.

Navras Records produced the release as part of its catalog of Indian classical music recordings from the 1990s. The label distributed the album in CD format, targeting audiences of Hindustani instrumental music. The liner notes or original packaging may contain additional context about the venue, recording conditions, or collaborating musicians, but these details are not documented in the available context.
