About This Album

Released July 15, 2015

Soulful Duets is a sitar and sarangi jugalbandi (duet) between Hidayat Khan and Dilshad Khan, with Enayet Hossain on tabla. It is the first album in Aimrec’s Soulful Duets series.

The main performance is Raga Shudh Sarang, a midday raga, presented as an alap, jor and jhala, followed by a gat in vilambit teental. Raga Dhani and a folk melody complete the album. Sitar and sarangi make a natural pair: the plucked sitar and the bowed, voice-like sarangi trade phrases and answer each other through the raga.

Hidayat Khan is the son and disciple of Ustad Vilayat Khan. Dilshad Khan is the ninth generation of sarangi players of the Sikar gharana. The series continues with Bliss (sitar and violin), Legacy (sitar and sarangi) and Euphoria (sitar and piano). Released by Aimrec in 2015 (AIMCDIM407).
