Raagmala: how multiple raags, each with a distinct mood and identity, are woven into one composition
A Raagmala, literally a “garland of raags,” brings several raags together within a single composition. The musician moves from one raag to another while preserving the identity of each through characteristic phrases. The idea also has a long visual history in Indian miniature painting, where individual raags were represented through distinct moods, seasons, times of day, landscapes, and human situations.
This performance features vocalist Saurabh Kadgaonkar, accompanied by Bharat Kamat on tabla and Ameya Bichu on harmonium.
