Comments – This is really a surprisingly good example of Khammaj. However it isn’t perfect, because there are several instances where Mohd. Rafi descends from a shuddha Ni, instead of a Komal Ni. But these instances are fleeting and do not spoil the mood. Considering how many centuries where Khammaj has been performed in lighter styles such as Thumri, this sort of thing is really “par for the course”.

Comments – I have been going over many hundreds of film and audio clips, and there are very few which actually excite me; this is one. It certainly does not reflect a chaste interpretation of Khammaj as per a traditional kheyal. However, it is a remarkably accurate reflection of an interpretation that was common among thumree singers in the early to middle part of the 20th century. If thumree is your thing, pay very careful attention to this one.

Comments – We are classifying this as Khammaj with a certain degree of trepidation. There are very strong elements of Mand here.
