Raga Dadra - Keharwa

Jugalbandi – Shehnai & Violin is a 1963 studio album featuring a collaboration between shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan and violinist V. G. Jog. The record captures a jugalbandi (duet) format that blends North Indian classical traditions with Carnatic influences. Odeon released the album on a 12\" vinyl LP under catalog number unknown.

The album includes Raga Dadra – Keharwa as track A2. The composition follows the light-classical dadra structure in a six-beat keharwa rhythmic cycle. Khan performs on the shehnai with characteristic phrasing and embellishments, while Jog responds on the violin with Carnatic-inflected ornamentation. The recording session details and accompanying artists remain undocumented in available sources.

This release marked one of the earliest commercial recordings to pair the shehnai with the violin in a jugalbandi setting. The album’s production aligned with the mid-20th-century trend of cross-genre classical collaborations in Indian music. No reissues or digital remasters have been officially confirmed as of the latest records.
