This is more pensive material than on some of Asad Ali Khan's international recitals, and more appealing than his first Nimbus CD.

It is unclear whether Joyiga (given as such throughout the booklet) is a different spelling of Jogia, or is intended to be a completely distinct raga. In any event, they are at least very similar.
