About Raga: Kirwani

Raga Kirwani (Strings of the Soul Vol. 1) is a track from the 2010 instrumental album Strings of the Soul Vol. 1. Artists Barun Kumar Pal and Enayet Hossain performed the composition. The album appeared under the Aimrec label on April 7, 2010, in CD format.

The track occupies the third position on the release and spans a duration of 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The performance centers on Raga Kirwani, a raga in Hindustani classical music traditionally associated with late-night renditions. The album title suggests a thematic focus on string-based interpretations of classical ragas, though specific instrumentation details for this track remain undocumented in available sources.

Barun Kumar Pal contributed as a sitarist, while Enayet Hossain provided tabla accompaniment. The collaboration reflects a fusion of North Indian classical traditions, with the sitar-tabla duo forming a conventional ensemble structure. The recording captures a live studio performance, though the exact location and production personnel are not specified in public records.

Strings of the Soul Vol. 1 marked one of several releases by Aimrec that featured collaborations between Indian and Bangladeshi classical musicians. The label specialized in classical and fusion albums during the late 2000s and early 2010s, though its broader catalog and commercial reception are not fully chronicled.
