Raga: Bhairavi
About Raga: Bhairavi
Ragas for Dawn is a studio album of North Indian classical music released on May 21, 2020, under the Aimrec label. The recording features sitarist Manilal Nag and tabla player Samar Saha in a collection of morning raga performances. The album appeared in compact disc format with a focus on traditional instrumental renditions.
The fourth track on the release presents a 12-minute-12-second interpretation of Raga Bhairavi. Nag performs the sitar melody while Saha provides rhythmic accompaniment on the tabla. The composition adheres to the structural and melodic conventions of the Bhairavi raga, characterized by its use of the komal re and komal dha swaras. The recording captures the improvisational alaap-jor-jhala development followed by a composed gat section in teental.
The album title reflects its thematic emphasis on ragas traditionally performed at dawn. Aimrec produced the release as part of its catalog of Indian classical recordings. Additional details about the session musicians, recording location, or production personnel remain undocumented in available sources.
