Raag Yaman

This study is our sincere effort and service towards Hindustani Classical Music. The raag which we are writing about in this article is Raag Yaman. We have researched multiple resources, which include books, websites, other digital media and multiple performances of various artists. The artists range from vocal, sitar, sarod, surbahar and flute. The aim of this article on Raag Yaman is to bring together the knowledge and historical background of Raag Yaman based on theory, structure, patterns and various ways the artists have expressed it over decades of performances. This article also serves as a unique learning resource for students of various skills, knowledge and performance levels, who are in the process of becoming performers and learners of Hindustani Classical Music. We are not endorsing or following a specific gharana system of music. Rather, we are aiming to keep the structure as it is and the readers are free to apply it to any gharana system or not. We have also included a big list of websites which have performances on Raag Yaman, and this will serve the learner in a multitude of ways. It would be ambitious to say that this is the first resource on Raag Yaman, but we can certainly say for sure that a study with such detail does not exist. We can confidently say that if a learner follows this article to learn Raag Yaman, then they would not have to spend endless hours researching the theory from other resources.
