This is another very good recording of the master musician Ram Narayan. He is still a favourite of mine and I still find this recording to have a freshness and a vitality of a remarkable quality. There is quite a bit to read about him in the Wikipedia here, and for once the liner notes on the back of the record sleeve, (included as always) are most informative and the first few paragraphs puts Ram Narayan and this record in perspective of the times it was issued. Don't miss the Jogia!

Thank you Dr Kashyap,
Unfortunately none of the records you mention are available to me at this time. I will post any new ones that I find and I still have some more to go but maybe a little later. There are so many other candidates for my next posts that I don't know what to post first it is a long line and I hope you shall find some more of that music also to be to your liking. There is more bowed instruments and soon enough among many other things like Shenai & Duggi there will be some Esraj coming from a field recording from 1954. Stay tuned and thanks for the clip!
my previous post should of course have read "are NOT available to me" such an important little word. The clip from 1945 was great to watch except at 16 the female voice tend to be a bit shrill to my ears, also Latas, the delicate bow however was most enjoyable...
Thanks Mr. Bolingo69 for your quick response. I agree with the female voice quality. The sarangi in the clip is definitely more pleasure for me.
Thank you so much again !
