Raag Suha Sughrai

Raag Suha Sughrai belongs to the Kafi thaat and is traditionally sung in the 2nd prahar of the day. It uses six swaras on the way up and six coming down. Phrases centre on Pancham - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Shadj as samvadi.

Swars: Dhaivat Varjya. Gandhar, Nishad Komal. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.

Sargam is written with Sa on C: komal swars are lowercase, teevra Ma is M̄, ʼ before a swar marks the lower (mandra) octave and Ṡ / ʼ after marks the upper (taar) octave. The synth plays plain notes - the gamak, meend, and andolan that bring a raag to life are what you learn in class with an expert.
