Raga Yaman

Raga Yaman is a Hindustani classical music recording by sitar maestro Shahid Parvez. The performance was released in 1998. The primary format is an audio album. The recording captures a traditional alap, jor, and jhala progression followed by a gat in teentaal (16-beat cycle). The label is Music Today, a division of the India Today Group.

Shahid Parvez performs the alap in a slow, meditative tempo, emphasizing the vadi (dominant note) Ga (third) and samvadi (subdominant note) Ni (seventh) of Raga Yaman. The jor section introduces rhythmic pulse without percussion, transitioning into the jhala, where Parvez accelerates the tempo and employs rapid tans (melodic runs). The gat features a composed melody in teentaal, accompanied by tabla.

The recording duration is 29 minutes and 23 seconds. The MusicBrainz Identifier (MBID) for this release is d5527872-4b48-484a-8ec5-837f97a1bd54. The album does not include liner notes or additional contextual details in the available sources. The performance adheres to the conventions of the Etawah gharana, of which Shahid Parvez is a prominent exponent.
