Pt. Brij Bhushan Kabra presenting Raga Yaman with Ustad Zakir Hussain on Tabla.
The first Vilamvit(slow) composition is based on Rupak Tal(7 beats) and there after the second Drut composition is in Teental followed by an excellent 'Jhala'. As we all know that 'Yaman' is a basic evening raga of 'Kalyan That' and every students of music has to practice this raga rigorously to achieve greater control over kalyan ang ragas.
As my Guruji is always considered as a 'Purist', hence he loves to present a raga in its traditional format. Moreover, he always maintained the real character of the raga- rupa as he learnt from his Guru Ustad Ali Akbar Khan Sahib long ago. Ustadji taught him the magical ways to unfold a raga with application of sublime factors necessary for presentation before the audience.
