Raga Miyan Ki Todi

Raga Miyan Ki Todi is a khayal performance recorded by Pakistani classical vocalist Ustad Salamat Ali Khan. The track appears as the fifth entry on the compilation album Timeless Music From Pakistan Vol. 2, released on CD by Living Media India in 2010.

The composition spans 12 minutes and 19 seconds and showcases Khan’s interpretation of Raga Miyan Ki Todi, a morning raga associated with the Todi thaat. The recording captures Khan’s vocal technique, characterized by intricate taan patterns and emotive phrasing. The album compiles archival and studio recordings of Pakistani classical musicians, though specific session details for this track remain undocumented.

Ustad Salamat Ali Khan (1934–2001) belonged to the Sham Chaurasia gharana and gained recognition for his command over khayal gayaki. His collaborations with his brother, Nazakat Ali Khan, established them as a prominent duo in North Indian classical music. The Timeless Music From Pakistan series aimed to preserve and disseminate recordings of artists from the subcontinent’s classical tradition, with Volume 2 featuring selections from Khan’s repertoire alongside other instrumental and vocal performances.

The label Living Media India produced the compilation as part of its efforts to document regional classical music. No additional information is available regarding the accompanying artists, recording location, or original release date of this specific performance. The tracklist of Timeless Music From Pakistan Vol. 2 includes works by multiple artists, but the album does not provide liner notes or detailed credits for individual tracks.
