Z.M. Dagar – Raga Yaman

zmdagardhrupadstill.GIF

For the last few years whenever I’ve taken a flight, this recording has been a must. It always soothes the brain. Zia Mohiuddin Dagar was a master of the Rudra Vina, and a student of the Dhrupad style of Indian music, notable for is long a patient alap (intro) sections. This one is just over 40 min. long and is a real melter.
Sit back, buckle up, soak it in.

    this is an absolute classic. few more recommendations would be performances by Jal Balaporia (album Gwalior Gharana by Makar Records,) Evergreen Yaman was the album name where ustad Vilayat khan played this raag.
