Raag Desh: Jugalbandi in sitar (Manilal Nag) and shehnai (Ali Ahmed Hussain Khan)

I’ve been on a kick of instrumental Desh lately, and I came across this. Recordings like these make me so proud of the incredible diversity of art and artists we have in India. Especially during the alaap, with the way those tender, sweet mohras on the sitar give way to the unwavering drone of the shehnai, every transition makes me feel so warm in my heart.

Nikhil Banerjee and Mahapurush Misra - Raga Desh - San Francisco - Higher quality

The first time I listened to this recording, I just sat there in silence at the end for minutes as I had no idea what to do with myself. I keep listening to it and I’m still awestruck by it.
