Recorded at Darbar Festival 2022, at the Barbican Centre, London.
Musician:
- Rakesh Chaurasia (bansuri)
Raag Kirwani; Samay: Midnight
A special digital concert filmed at Darbar Festival. Rakesh 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.”
This Raag is said to be adapted into Hindustani music from Carnatic music and is used in instrumental music very often. It is very playful in nature so it is used in Thumri style compositions and also in movie music.
