Suye Man A Ke Tura Daar Manam - Raag Chandrakauns

\"Suye Man A Ke Tura Daar Manam\" is a khayal composition in Raag Chandrakauns performed by Ustad Amir Khan. The track appears as the seventh recording on the compilation album The Legend Lives on – Ustad Amir Khan, released posthumously on March 5, 2013, by Times Music. The album compiles archival performances and studio recordings by Khan, a prominent figure in the Indore gharana of Hindustani classical music.

The track spans 6 minutes and 52 seconds. Khan renders the composition in the slow, meditative vilambit tempo characteristic of Chandrakauns, a raga derived from the Kafi thaat with a focus on the shuddha ni (natural seventh) and komal re (flattened second). The performance showcases Khan’s signature vocal technique, marked by controlled meend (glides) and intricate taan patterns. Instrumental accompaniment details remain undocumented in available sources, though traditional tanpura and tabla support is standard for such recordings.

The album The Legend Lives on – Ustad Amir Khan was issued in digital media format. Times Music, the label, specializes in classical and devotional music reissues, often curating legacy material from 20th-century Indian maestros. The compilation includes other rare tracks by Khan, though the specific recording dates and original session details for \"Suye Man A Ke Tura Daar Manam\" are not publicly verified. The raga’s textual content follows classical brajbhasha conventions, with thematic emphasis on longing and devotion.

Ustad Amir Khan (1912–1974) remains influential for his contributions to the Indore gharana, blending the dhrupad tradition’s gravity with the fluidity of khayal. His interpretations of Chandrakauns are frequently cited for their emotional depth and technical precision. The 2013 release forms part of a broader effort to digitize and preserve his oeuvre for contemporary audiences.
