Raga Shyam Kalyan is an evening raga of the Kalyan thaat, performed around dusk. It blends features of Kalyan and Kamod, and it uses both sharp Ma (tivra Ma) and natural Ma, giving it a warm, dusky colour close to Yaman but with its own graceful turns.
On Aimrec, Shyam Kalyan is heard in a complete sitar performance by Hidayat Khan on Saaz, on Shakir Khan’s The Mystical Sitar, and on Introduction to Indian Music, Vol. 1.
