Raga Nat Bhairav - Alap and Gat in Ektaal (Official Music Video)

Namaskar to all, thank you so much for your birthday greetings and wishes. On the this day of my birth anniversary I wanted to convey my gratitude and the only way I can effectively do so is through my music. I am eternally grateful to Pandit Parimal Sadaphal who has been my guiding light ever since my Guru's demise (Pandit Ravi Shankar) and for helping me prepare this exquisite composition. I would also like to thank my father Pt. Sanjay Rikhiram Sharma for accompanying me on the Tabla so beautifully despite the challenge of playing in such a complex rhythm structure.

Raga Nat Bhairav - Alap (Introductional piece to unfold the structure of the melody) 00:00 - 01:33

Gat in Drut Ektaal (a 12 beat rhythm cycle played at a faster speed)

We all have seen the worst of this year, but now optimistically we seek to experience the new life and the new normal. Here is early morning Raga Nat Bhairav to new beginnings!
