Kushal Das is equally adept on the sitar and its larger ancestor, the surbahar. His learning started in the family, a varied group of Maihar gharana musicians. His grandfather played the esraj, his uncle trained under sarod great Ali Akbar Khan, and his father was a sitarist who received instruction from Ravi Shankar. But his training was atypical in some ways - his family never pressured him to take up classical music, letting him play through film songs to acquaint himself with the techniques. However he soon realised his calling, and worked hard to capture the nuances of his idols - Vilayat Khan, Nikhil Banerjee, and Ravi Shankar. Kushal uses a first-hand understanding of vocal music to expand the mellifluous phrasings of his string playing, bending patiently around both his instruments in a gharana-blending style.

Shudh Basant is associated with the varied feelings of spring. It has a long association with Sikh culture, with a long list of spiritual leaders including the religion’s founder Guru Nanak having written shabads [sacred songs] in it. It can be performed at any time of day or night during springtime, but only in the early part of the night the rest of the year. It is closest to Poorvi thaat, ascending as SGMdNS and descending as SNdPMGrS, and shudh ma can be used occasionally to settle the mood. It is similar in form to Raag Puriya Dhanashree.
Recorded for Darbar on 3 Mar 2014, at the Sage Gateshead
