Vilayat Khan (sitar), Bismillah Khan (shehnai) and Shanta Prasad (tabla) in Chaiti Dhun. Rhythm: Keharwa tala (8 beats). Remarkable recording, made around 1960. The full one, not cut as some other recordings are.

• Vilayat Khan, Bismilla...
The raga Gujaree-Todi with the same artists and from the same time can be heard here:
• Ustad Vilayat Khan || ...

This rare Chaiti dhun depicts the mood of pure joy very skillfully presented by two great Ustads Vilayat Khan saheb and Bismillah Khan saheb. You can see how subtle the presentation is - Shehnai proclaims the joyous mood and Sitar adds beautiful embellishments - the tones and touches are very sublime. Childhood memories come alive listening to this (radio will play this during festive times like Diwali) - invokes still exact same feeling! Thank you so much for sharing this rare treat!
