Recorded at Darbar Festival 2022, at the Barbican Centre, London.
Musician:
- Rakesh Chaurasia (bansuri)
Raag Bhimpalasi; Thaat: Kafi; Samay: Afternoon
Let's journey back in time to Darbar Festival 2022 when we were graced by the exceptional talent of Rakesh Chaurasia who performed a flute solo.
An oft-heard compound raga churned out of Bhim and Palasi, this has overshadowed both its Janak (parent) ragas. Mythically Krishna, the cowherd boy, played this sweet melody on his flute to give a return call to all his grazing cows and cowherd friends. As such this raga, exuding peace and assurance, is associated with homecoming and offers a vast canvas for improvisations. Its universal appeal has made it very popular in every genres of Indian music; so much so that Bhim and Palasi are almost extinct now. Bhimpalasi is also adopted by Carnatic stream as Bhimpalas.
