Recorded at Darbar Festival 2022, at the Barbican Centre, London.

Musician:
- Purbayan Chatterjee (sitar)

Raag Miyan ki Malhar; Thaat: Kafi; Samay: Night or Monsoon

Let's journey back in time to Darbar Festival 2022 when we were graced by the exceptional talent of Purbayan Chatterjee who performed a Sitar Solo.

This Raag is also referred to as 'Miya Malhar' since it was a wonderful creation by Sangeet Samrat Miya Tansen. The combinations of the melody can really ape the vagaries of nature in the thunder of clouds and the rain torrents falling from sky onto the earth. The Shuddha Nishad of Madra Saptak makes the Raag very impressive and sweet rendering requires bold presentation of the combinations to enthral the audience with the Raag mood.
