Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, Raag Desi Todi (very rare)

[@ravindrabhatt2204]

This is the strangest Desi Todi I have heard in nearly 60 years of being a Hindustani music aficianado. Musicians have used both dhaivats, but here teevra madhyam and komal rishabh also appears repeatedly, which I have never heard before being used in Desi Todi. Any information about the origin of this bandish would be appreciated.

He’s doing strange moves at around 3:48 and 4:22 - not quiet Desi. But he’s his own master!

[@mittaltushant]

Yes indeed! This is a very strange Desi, almost seems like there’s a different raga blended with it but i can’t put a finger on it.

Do you have Adana by joshiji

[@jitendrayalvigi4501]

Tonnes of Thanks Rameshji for the DesiTodi by Panditji which was never heard before🙏

[@siddharthadutta2393]

A very uncommon variation of Desi. A treasure as always. Probably from around the same time as the recordings in the Swaradhiraaj album.

[@jayastubanerjee1998]

Indeed, use of both Re, Ma and Dha, makes very peculiar approach of Desi Todi

[@VrushaliDeshmukhMusic]

Superb! 🙏Pranam
