Escape Through Morning Ragas | Raag Lalit

Immerse yourself in the ancient, meditative world of dhrupad—one of India's oldest and most highly evolved classical art forms. Recorded live on Saturday, 11 November 2017, this performance features the father-and-son duo Pandit Ram Kumar Mallick and Samit Mallick, representing the illustrious 12-generation lineage of the Darbhanga Gharana.

Together, they masterfully unfold Raag Lalit, a deeply spiritual morning raag known for its serene yet profound emotional depth. While rooted in centuries of tradition, the Mallick family brings a vibrant, evolving energy to the genre, showcasing the complex microtones and rhythmic improvisations unique to their school of music.

They are accompanied by Seetal Dhadyalla and Keertan Kaur on the tanpura, providing the hypnotic, resonant drone that underpins this transcendental morning performance.
