Rajasthani Folk Song

Sarangi and Tabla is a collaborative studio album by Indian classical musicians Ustad Sultan Khan and Ustad Zakir Hussain. The label Moment! Records released the album in 1991 on CD format. The recording showcases the fusion of Sultan Khan’s sarangi and Zakir Hussain’s tabla, blending North Indian classical traditions with regional folk influences.

The album’s second track, titled Rajasthani Folk Song, spans 8 minutes in duration. The composition draws from the folk music of Rajasthan, incorporating melodic and rhythmic elements characteristic of the region. Sultan Khan performs on the sarangi, while Zakir Hussain provides percussive accompaniment on the tabla. The track exemplifies the artists’ improvisational interplay, a hallmark of their live and studio collaborations.

No additional details about the album’s production, recording locations, or session musicians are publicly documented. The release date and label information confirm its circulation in the early 1990s as part of Moment! Records’ catalog of world music and classical Indian recordings. The album remains a referenced work in discourses on Indo-jazz fusion and cross-genre experimentation within Hindustani classical music.
