A musical serial. Episode 25: Chandrakauns
More music by the group Remember Shakti. Their track Mukti took up the full hour of last week’s episode. Today’s works take less long, but the first still clocks in at half an hour. Again the tracks form an arc together that spans the hour.
Chandrakauns is a raag for the late evening, often attributed to the Kafi thaat, although that seems to be open to discussion. The Wish and Lotus Feet are two compositions by John McLaughlin, filled with room for improvisation.
