Raga: Marwa (Gat In Teental)

Ragas on the Santoor is a studio album of Indian classical music released on May 19, 2010, under the Aimrec label. The album features performances on the santoor, a hammered dulcimer instrument traditional to Kashmir and North Indian classical music. The primary artist is Bhajan Sopori, a prominent santoor exponent of the Sufiana Gharana, accompanied by Enayet Hossain on the tabla.

The third track of the album presents a composition in Raga Marwa, a raga associated with the late afternoon or early evening. The piece follows the gat form in Teental, a 16-beat rhythmic cycle common in Hindustani classical music. The track spans 8 minutes and 7 seconds, showcasing the intricate melodic development characteristic of the raga. Sopori performs the santoor with Hossain providing percussive accompaniment on the tabla.

The album was issued in CD format. Additional details about the recording sessions, production personnel, or liner notes remain undocumented in the provided context. The release emphasizes traditional raga structures, with Raga Marwa serving as a representative example of Sopori’s interpretive approach to the santoor repertoire.
