Looked all over the internet, but can't find a piece where you have explored Raga Yaman. If there's a video of you playing in Yaman, could you please please direct me to it? Thanks a lot. Love your work. Can't get enough of your music. :).

Hi Sarthak, Thank you for your appreciation. There are several videos of Utsav Lal playing raga Yaman on the artist KZbin channel. Kindly check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqTMdqqZoZ2SeNU. Best regards, Sangita Lal

I like it, but somehow I feel I shouldn''t. Maybe the piano doesn't sound as "exotic" as I would want, whereas a sitar, surbahar, rudra vina, sarod, or santoor does.
