Ustad Vilayat Khan Raag Gujari Todi

Ustad Vilayat Khan Raag Gujari Todi
Tabla & Year ?? I guess from the 1970s!

[@nirmalyamukhopadhyay1769]

The Gat starts with the famous bandish in Gujri Todi immortalised by the Late Ustad BGAK, for sure. Thank you for the upload 👍🙏

Thanks for listening

[@sunilnath8927]

There's only one sitar -- that of a genius!

[@banirbn]

Sounds like there are two sitars playing. Thanks so very much for sharing this recording. Very precious !

[@vintageaudio54]

Thanks for listening

[@banirbn]

@@vintageaudio54 Someone shared this again here claiming that this was recorded in Barcelona. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXLLaqNoisaHe7c

[@banirbn]

Hearing UVK's comment in the middle of the recording, I think the accompanying sitarist is Shujaat Khan.

So melodious, what a soothing rendition of this sweet raaga. Hats off to the Legendry musician Ustad Vilayat Khan Saab

Ohh....marvellous..thanks for uploading...

Thank you so much for sharing

[@sanjaytrivedi3949]

Wah... Excellent

[@AmritaSitar]

Looks like he’s accompanied by U Shujaat khan

[@blenditlikethat9158]

Interestingly he is playing miyan ki todi phrases more without the use of pa for example dha Ni Sa re ga. Also gujri todi doesn't have pa but Ustad Ji has tuned pa and it is clearly audible. Feels like a concoction of two raags. Skills and dexterity portrayed in this audio clip amazing without a doubt but the raag development is very uniquely presented and am not sure hard-core purists will appreciate this.

[@ritvijpant]

Thanks sir...please post more recordings of vocalists also

[@vintageaudio54]

Sure I will

[@salmazaidi3222]

Please tell us if you can the date and venue of this performance. And yes, as someone mentioned, there seem to be two instruments being played here. Can you also throw some light on it? Plus name of tablist please.

[@musafirrahgir3199]

Barcelona 1973

[@devanshphadke]

Sir yes you are right.. most probably it is Gujari Todi..

[@vintageaudio54]

Thanks!

[@tapashghosh1929]

Please note who was played on tabla?

[@RVHello]

Who is the other sitarist? Raia Khan? Sitar sounds different from uvks usual one.

[@syedalishanzaidi1]

Date and venue of this recording please. Two sitars? And name of tablist?

[@ArjunB94]

11:44 why is Pa used in gujri? are you sure its gujri todi ?

[@udayanbhadurimdfacc7444]

Both Alap and Gat are in Gurjari Todi indeed. Fantastic performance by UVK of Ustad BGAK 78 rpm bandish! Bhor Bhayeee Tori Baat Takat Piya Naina Alsaaye Ne Bhaye, Sagari Rain Ka Jaage
