Raga: Bihag (Gat In Drut Teental)

Raga Bihag (Gat in Drut Teental) is a live instrumental performance recorded by sitarist Ustad Shahid Parvez and tabla player Enayet Hossain. The track appears as the third composition on the album Live in Concert, released on February 7, 2012 under the Aimrec label. The recording adopts the CD format and spans 15 minutes and 37 seconds.

The performance centers on Raga Bihag, a prominent raga in the Hindustani classical tradition characterized by its evening or late-night association. The composition follows the gat structure in drut teental, a fast-paced 16-beat rhythmic cycle. Shahid Parvez executes the sitar melody with intricate taans and meend techniques, while Enayet Hossain provides rhythmic accompaniment on the tabla, emphasizing the cyclic patterns of teental. The recording captures the improvisational interplay typical of live classical performances, though specific venue details remain undocumented in available sources.

The album Live in Concert primarily features traditional Hindustani classical compositions, with this track serving as a representative example of the khayal-inspired instrumental style. No additional production credits or session details are publicly confirmed. The release aligns with Shahid Parvez’s broader discography, which emphasizes raga-based recitals in both studio and concert settings.
