Darbari - Kerry Kriger - Belize - Bamboo Flute

Kirwani has always been one of my favorite melodies. It is a nighttime raga that is several thousand years old. In 2002 I played a few concerts in Buenos Aires, Argentina with my friend Rasikananda Das accompanying me on tabla. Here is a recording of me playing Kirwani February 28, 2002 at Ariel's. I'm playing my F flute. I play a short alap (no rhythm), and then a composition in jhaptal (10 beats) and teental (16 beats). The scale of Kirwani is a harmonic minor: 
SRgmPdNS up
SNdPmgRS down

This recording was without mics. I recorded it on my minidisc player. These days I use a Zoom H2N for handheld recordings and in a pinch my iPhone has a digital recorder.
