Rare Dulal Roy & Himangshu Biswas ‎1971 'Jugalbandi'

Here is a 1971 release of Dulal Roy on Santoor and Himangshu Biswas on Bansuri. There is also another 1968 LP of these two musicians doing another Jugalbandi, with Dulal Ji playing Jaltarang (pitched bowls). This other release is also a rare LP, but available to purchase on Saregama (Click Here). I think this LP however has not been re-released. This is a great treat, in that I haven't seen many other Duets with Santoor (except Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia)...

Label: His Master's Voice ‎– ECSD 2479

Tracks:
A1 - Raga Bhupali (Teentaal)
B1 - Raga Gujari Todi (Ektaal)
B2 - Dhun (Keharwa Taal)


Digitised with: Project Essential II Turntable, Ortofon Red Stylus, recorded as WAV 16/48 in Audacity and saved unaltered (apart from track separation/info tags) as WAV 16/48, and then separately edited with: Clickrepair (low settings) then slight reduction on surface noise + normalised to -1.5db in Audacity and exported as WAV 16/48 and MP3 320kbps.

  2. Hi Rory, I also hadn't heard of him before. He released about 9 LPs and all of them are fairly rare.

  3. Kirrin you really are on a great roll here, this is new to me as well and very good. Checked online and the tabla is performed by Afaq Hussain Khan (from scan of record).
    Thanks again.
