Raga Marwa - 2023
"The hour of sunset is a fascinating time. Lovers, who have been separated, begin to wonder how they are going to spend the night in loneliness. The same thing happens to those who do not have a roof over their heads. The day passes by itself, but the night? They are worried about finding shelter. In all the notes of Hindustani music the most important resting place is Shadja (Sa), but in Marwa the very note 'Sa' virtually vanishes and whenever we use it briefly we feel a sense of relief. I feel that the chief aim of Raga Marwa is to portray this anxiety and uncertainty." - Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan -
