Raag Pilu

This song is right up in my list of best Rahman songs. Elegantly capturing the mystic desert landscape and the aura just before rain kisses the sun-scorched earth, the song Ghanan Ghanan is set in Raag Pilu. Rahman has picked this Raag because it has the power of devotion and prayer blended within its harmonics. The song sequence is enriched with overflowing joy and the thrill of abundance. The Hindustani Raag Pilu is similar to the Kapi Raag of Carnatic music.
