Dagar Bani - Ragas Lalit And Sohini
Review by Lee Chan
Ragas Lalit And Sohini by Dagar Bani is a mesmerizing album that showcases the beauty and complexity of Indian classical music. The album features two ragas, Lalit and Sohini, which are known for their serene and contemplative qualities.
The musicians of Dagar Bani, who are renowned for their mastery of the Dhrupad style, deliver a flawless performance that highlights the nuances of each raga. The alaaps, jod and jhala in each raga are executed with precision, creating a hypnotic effect that transports the listener to a different realm.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the rendition of Raga Sohini. The musicians create an ethereal atmosphere with their soulful singing and the gentle plucking of the tanpura. The slow tempo of the raga allows the musicians to explore its various facets, creating a deeply meditative experience for the listener.

- This Dhrupad performance was recorded in Paris 1987 by the late Deben Bhattacharya (1921 - 2001), the internationally renowned musicologist. This album is being released as a special memorial concert - a tribute to Deben Bhattacharya under the auspices of and at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. This is an archival recording and has some distortion at high registers on some occasions. Overall quality of the recording is good and represents a great example of the Dhrupad music tradition.
