Raga Kusumi Kalyan

Parween Sultana performed Raga Kusumi Kalyan as the third track on her 1999 album Rare Melodies. Saregama released the recording on CD. The composition spans 21 minutes and 39 seconds.

The album belongs to the Hindustani classical tradition. Sultana rendered the raga in the khayal style, a vocal form characterized by improvisation within a fixed melodic framework. The recording captures her interpretation of Kusumi Kalyan, a raga derived from the Kalyan thaat. The performance includes alap, jor, and jhala sections followed by a bandish in drut laya.

Sultana accompanied the vocal delivery with tanpura and tabla support. The album title Rare Melodies reflects its focus on less frequently performed ragas and compositions. Saregama marketed the release as part of its classical music catalog, targeting audiences of North Indian classical vocal music. No additional details about the recording sessions, accompanying artists, or production personnel are publicly documented.
