archive/ raga JogKauns by Jasdeep Singh Degan

Leeds born sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun, brings a meeting of raags Jog and Malkauns, each distinctive, highly developed and wanting to complete each other, yet that process is also characterized by their setting to oppose each other. Malkauns has airs of being majestic, powerful and commanding, while Jog is playful, romantic and frivolous.

In JogKauns, Jasdeep strives to bring completeness, balance and grounding. Like in any Indian Classical music performance, he wrestles with the unknown of where that journey may take, but the start is with those very important precepts inherent in all of us - to seek fulfimment with the other.
