廃盤。大推薦。70年代から多くのヒンドゥースターニー録音を残し、2018年にはIdeologic Organからもデビューした巨匠Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar。ヒンドゥスターニーの伝統において最も重要な音楽一族であり、本作はなんとその息子であるMohi Bahauddin Dagarによるソロデビュータイトル！！タンブーラとパクハヴァジュのみを使った演奏であり、古典的な2つのモーニング・ラーガをミックスしたというLP2枚分の長編記録。ひたすら身を委ねて頂きたい超濃密な激ヤバ物件。



Mohi Bahauddin Dagar is the heir to one of the most important families of musicians in the Indian Hindustani tradition: Dagar family. During the XX century, his father, the famous Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar, was mainly responsible for the revival of the Rudra Veena as a solo concert instrument. The stylistic evolution of the Rudra also involved a substantial modification of its parts by Zia Mohiuddin. In fact, the tumbas (gourds) and dhandhi (hollow neck) were enlarged to create greater resonance and closeness to the techniques used in Dhrupad singing. Ahir Bhairva consists of a mix of two morning Raga in its classical progression of alap, jor, jhala and chowtal phases, in a sound framework embellished by tanpura and pakhawaj. Bahauddin remains faithful to the stylistic features of Dagarbani thought, a slow meditative development that explores all the possible ranges of his instrument, with ascending and descending microtonal movements that reactivate body and mind in the first light of day.
