Jaunpuri is a morning raag. It is a favourite of mine. On hearing it you will feel the morning. So enjoy the morning. It has been sung by Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, a great Hindustani classical singer. As I told you, two communities have made a specially great contribution in Hindustani classical music ( though there have been others too ), Maharashtrians, and Pathans ( whose surnames are usually Khan ). The main form of Hindustani classical music is called khyaal, though there are other forms too e.g. thumri, tappa, taraana, dadra, etc. Here the Ustad is singing a khyaal https://youtube/watch?v=BwPFc5uYWaU
