Raga Miyan Ki Todi

Ustad Asad Ali Khan plays rudra bin in the aggressive and forceful Khandhar Bani style of dhrupad. Asad Ali's music reflects several formative influences including the Jaipur binkar tradition, the bin style of Rampur, the modern sitar idiom, and the Carnatic vina style. Asad Ali plays a definitive and riveting performance of the profound and popular early morning raga Miyan ki Todi, a creation of the legendary Tansen.
