Tracklist

01. Raga Panchamkauns - Raga Alapana (Live)
02. Raga Bhairavi - Pallavi in Tivratala (Live)


Raga Malkauns, also known as Raga Hindolam in parts of India, is a very popular Raga, usually sung in the late evening or night. Raga Panchamkauns as the name suggests, uses the note Pancham (Pa) in Malkauns. Sometimes, subtly using a note changes the entire character and feeling of a Raga, so much so that it feels like a completely different Raga. Panchamkauns also brings in changes to the melodic phrases of Malkauns, incorporating the Pancham without the note sounding dissonant.

Here I present the Raga as a derivative of Natabhairavi, belonging to the Kaushiki family of Ragas. This is a recording of a live performance held at Siddhivinayak Temple, Dandia Bazaar, Vadodara.
