About This Album
Sacred Breath presents bansuri player Deepak Ram, with Enayet Hossain on tabla, in five ragas and a dhun, his most varied album with Aimrec.
Each raga is heard as an alap followed by a gat: the five-note Raga Durga; Bageshree, a late-night raga of longing; Hansadhwani, a bright raga borrowed from South Indian Carnatic music; the midday Shudh Sarang; and Kaushikdhwani. A dhun in Shivranjani, a raga of tender sadness, closes the album. Together they offer a tour of the bansuri’s range, from meditative to joyful.
Deepak Ram is a soloist of North Indian classical music who has performed across four continents and is also known for his collaborations and teaching. Sacred Breath is his fourth Aimrec album with Enayet Hossain, after Incandescent, Confluence and Mystical Breath. Released by Aimrec in 2025 (AIMCDIM438).
