Raga Kirwani - Alaap & Thaman / Jod

Raga Kirwani – Alaap & Thaman / Jod is a collaborative instrumental track performed by violinist L. Subramaniam and sitarist Rais Khan. The composition appears as the opening track on the album Sangeet Sangam Vol. 4, released on 2006 by Sony BMG Music Entertainment in CD format. The piece spans 17 minutes and 23 seconds, showcasing an extended exploration of Raga Kirwani through the traditional alaap, jod, and jhala sections.

The recording captures a fusion of North and South Indian classical traditions, with Subramaniam employing the Carnatic violin and Khan performing on the sitar. The track emphasizes improvisational interplay, a hallmark of both artists’ styles. The album Sangeet Sangam Vol. 4 forms part of a series that pairs Indian classical musicians in jugalbandi (duet) performances. No additional production credits or session details are documented in the available context.

The label Sony BMG Music Entertainment distributed the release as part of its classical music catalog. The tracklist and liner notes for the album remain partially undocumented beyond this track. The recording stands as a representative example of late 20th- and early 21st-century cross-genre collaborations in Indian classical music, though specific reception or chart performance data is not provided in the source material.
