What is the name and type of instrument popularized by the composer of Rag Shankara, Rag Mala in Jogia?
Rag Shankara, Rag Mala in Jogia Rag Shankara, Rag Mala in Jogia is a studio album by Indian classical musician Ram Narayan, released in 1990. Recorded on 15 and 16 November 1989 in Wyastone Leys near Monmouth, Wales, the album features a "sarangi" performance of the solemn night "raga" "Shankara" and a "ragamala" ("garland of ragas") based on the introspective early morning "raga" "Jogiya" (or "Jogia"). On both tracks, Narayan performs a long non-metrical introduction to unfold the "raga", during which he adds a pulse, until he is joined by the "tabla" (percussion) player to perform a composition.
In Concert 1972 In Concert 1972 is a double live album by sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and sarodya Ali Akbar Khan, released in 1973 on Apple Records. It was recorded at the Philharmonic Hall, New York City, in October 1972, and is a noted example of the two Hindustani classical musicians' celebrated "jugalbandi" (duet) style of playing. With accompaniment from tabla player Alla Rakha, the performance reflects the two artists' sorrow at the recent death of their revered guru, and Khan's father, Allauddin Khan. The latter was responsible for many innovations in Indian music during the twentieth century, including the call-and-response dialogue that musicians such as Shankar, Khan and Rakha popularised among Western audiences in the 1960s.
