Raga Pahadi Jhinjhoti: Drut Gat In Tintal

Raga Pahadi Jhinjhoti: Drut Gat In Tintal is an instrumental track from the 2007 album Raga Pahadi Jhinjhoti. The composition spans 18 minutes and 51 seconds and appears as the third track on the release. Artists Debashish Bhattacharya and Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri perform the piece in the drut gat (fast tempo) section of Tintal, a 16-beat rhythmic cycle common in North Indian classical music.

Debashish Bhattacharya plays the slide guitar, adapting the instrument to render the melodic intricacies of Raga Pahadi Jhinjhoti. Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri accompanies on the tabla, providing rhythmic support and improvisational interplay. The album focuses on the raga’s structural development, emphasizing alap, jor, and jhala before transitioning into the drut gat.

India Archive Music released the album in CD format in 2007. The label specializes in archival and contemporary recordings of Indian classical music. The track exemplifies the fusion of traditional raga performance with Bhattacharya’s modified slide guitar technique. Additional details about the recording sessions, production personnel, or alternate takes remain undocumented in available sources.
