This is the first episode of a mini-series called Raag which looks at some of the important raags of Hindustani music. A raag can be considered equivalent to a scale in western music. It sets the mood of the piece and defines what notes can and cannot be part of the composition. We'll start the series with Raag Khamaj.
Khamaj is associated with the late evening, with the sunset really, and is pretty much as close as you can expect to get to a major scale. As you can imagine, it is very pleasant to listen to, and generally conveys happiness.
Playlist:
1. Ali Akbar Khan - Raag Manjh Khamaj
2. Ulhas Kashalkar - Koyalia Kook Sunave
3. Vilayat Khan - Ragamalika in Khamaj
4. Ulhas Kashalkar - Raag Khamaj
