Raga & Resonance Part 1: Alap Raga Durga
by Shivam Rath
Raga Durga Part 1 : Alap Raga Flow Join multi-instrumentalist, yoga teacher, and Indian classical musician Shivam Rath for an immersive Raga Flow in Raga Durga, featuring the Crystal Slide (Chaturangi) Guitar. This explores Alap, the spacious, rhythm-free opening of a Raga, where the notes, mood, and character of the Raga are gradually revealed. Through Crystal Slide and interactive call-and-response singing, you can feel the melodic landscape of Raga Durga. Raga Durga carries a luminous, devotional quality associated with strength, grace, and the divine feminine, as the goddess's name suggests. Without a fixed rhythmic cycle, the Alap creates space to slow down, explore each note, and experience Raga as a living flow rather than simply a composition to learn. Whether you sing along, listen, or simply absorb the vibrations, this session offers a beautiful space for relaxation. Part 2 continues with rhythm, Tala, and a more structured composition.
