Raga Asa is an Indian musical raga (composition) that appears in the Sikh tradition from northern India and is part of the Sikh holy scripture the Guru Granth Sahib. Asa is a very old raga which was once popular in the Punjab (northern India) but seldom heard in concerts today. In the Guru Granth Sahib's Ragmala this is a ragini (subset) of raga Megha. However, today it is assigned to the "Bilaval" thata ("set"). Asa is a devotional raga for the cold season and is performed in the early morning just before sunrise. However, it is also known as a twilight melody with a calm mystical mood. Raga Asa was used by Dhanul Laskangadas, Guru Nanak, Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan and Guru Tegh Bahadur

Gurbaksh demonstrates a short alaap in Raag Asa.

Raag Asa - Gurbaksh Singh Matharu

A small Dhun in Raag Yaman 

The tarshenai is an esraj (an Indian bowed instrument) whose sound is amplified by a metal horn attached to its sound board. The term is also used to refer to the horn itself. The horn of a phonograph has sometimes been used. It is a rare instrument which found its way into the Gurmat Sangeet tradition through masters such as Ustad Piyara Singh. This instrument was made popular in the indian classical music circuit through Ragi Baljeet Singh, a student of Ustad Piyara Singh.
Gurbaksh Singh Matharu a student of the revered Sarod player Ustad Gurdev Singh is today one of the few torch bearers of this instrument, here he demonstrates a light classical piece in Raag Yaman.
