About This Album
The Emotive Sarangi presents Zohaib Hassan, one of the leading sarangi players of his generation, with Enayet Hossain on tabla.
The sarangi, a bowed instrument, is the closest instrument to the human voice in Indian classical music, and Zohaib Hassan uses that voice to full effect. The album begins with Raga Saraswati: an alap, then gats in ektal and teental. It closes with Raga Charukeshi in teental, a raga of tender, wistful character. Both ragas were borrowed from South Indian Carnatic music.
Zohaib Hassan is a scion of the Amritsar gharana of sarangi players and is regarded as the finest sarangi player of the younger generation in Pakistan. A rare solo sarangi album for lovers of this expressive instrument. Released by Aimrec in 2020 (AIMCDIM417).
