Vairabi Gat-Prof.Enayet Khan

Vairabi Gat is a composition performed by Ustad Enayat Khan (credited as Prof. Enayet Khan) and released as the opening track on the 2020 album Prof. Enayet Khan & Ustad Alauddin Khan. The label Megaphone issued the recording in digital media format on September 30, 2020.

The track runs for 3 minutes and 29 seconds and features Enayat Khan on the sitar, though the full instrumental arrangement and accompanying artists remain undocumented in available sources. The album title suggests a collaboration with Ustad Alauddin Khan, a prominent figure in Hindustani classical music, but specific contributions to this track are not explicitly detailed.

Vairabi Gat exemplifies the gat form, a fixed composition in North Indian classical music typically performed in the khayal or instrumental style. The piece aligns with the broader repertoire of the Maihar gharana, a school associated with Alauddin Khan’s teachings, though the raga classification for this performance is not confirmed in the release metadata.

The album Prof. Enayet Khan & Ustad Alauddin Khan compiles archival or previously unreleased material, as indicated by the posthumous inclusion of Alauddin Khan (1881–1972). Enayat Khan (1935–2016), a disciple of Alauddin Khan and son of Ustad Vilayat Khan, contributed to the preservation of the Maihar tradition through recordings and pedagogy. Further details on the recording session, production personnel, or alternate takes are not publicly accessible.
