Jogkauns is Jasdeep Singh Degun’s first full-length album dedicated entirely to Indian classical music. Recorded live with tabla accompanist Harkiret Bahra, it captures Jasdeep at a defining moment in his career. Returning to the foundations of his artistry, he brings rare intensity and lyricism to the long-form tradition of raags, in performances both timeless and contemporary.
