About the Raga
Raga Jog is a distinctive Hindustani raga associated with the late evening and night. Its characteristic use of both Shuddha and Komal Gandhar gives it a unique tonal colour, while its melodic movements can range from introspective and meditative to intensely expressive. The raga is particularly effective in slow, spacious elaboration.
