Raga Jog / Mishra Shivaranjani / Mishra Khamaj
Ramesh Mishra plays the bowed sarangi - its three main strings and forty sympathetic strings give it a rich and complex sound. Ramesh comes from a stylistic tradition associated with musicians of the ancient city of Benares and is now a disciple of Ravi Shankar. Ramesh plays raga Jog, which has a moody, bluesy kind of feel, followed by a bittersweet raga Mishra Shivaranjani and a bhajan set to Mishra Khamaj, 'Vaishnava Jana To', a favorite of Gandhi.
