Rakesh Chaurasia | Raag Ahir-Bhairav
Hindustani Instrumental
•
21m
Recorded at Darbar Festival 2022, at the Barbican Centre, London.
Musician:
- Rakesh Chaurasia (bansuri)
Raag Ahir Bhairav, Thaat: Bhairav, Samay: Early Morning
Special performance filmed in an empty auditorium during Darbar Festival.
Chaurasia is a true exponent of the therapeutic impact of the bansuri, “The notes have to do something within your system so it affects your chakras and your mind frame,” he explains, adding that the correct timing (also known as 'Prahar' time theory) helps amplify the impact. Even if the performance takes place in a dark auditorium, he maintains, you can feel the morning. “The notes really have something to do with your system. I have felt it many times.”
Raag Ahir-Bhairav occupies a unique place among morning Raagas. It is a pleasing blend of Raag Bhairav in Poorvang and Raag Kafi in Uttarang. The chalan of this Raag is like Raag Bhairav in Poorvang where Rishabh oscillates (G m P G M r r S), however in Uttarang the oscillation of Dhaivat is skipped.
