General discussion of Ahir Bhairav

*Aapne Jeevan Ki Uljhan Ko Film - Uljhan Year - 1975 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Dadra Music Director(s) - Kalyanji, Anandji Singer(s) - Kishore Kumar Links - Lyrics - http://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_song_Apne%20Jeevan%20Ki%20Uljhan%20Ko.html Video - Comments -

*Albela Sajan Aayo Re Film - Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam Year - 1999 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Tintal, Kaherava Music Director(s) - Ismail Darbar Singer(s) - Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shankar Mahadevan, Sultan Khan Links - Lyrics - http://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_song_Albela%20Sajan%20Aayo%20Re.html Video - Comments - There is a bit of mixing here, so it is not 100% Ahir Bhairav.

*Chalo Man Jayen Ghar Aapne Film - Swami Vivekananda Year - 1994 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Kaherava Music Director(s) - Salil Chowdhury Singer(s) - Yesudas Links - Video - Comments - This is an excellent song to get a feel for Ahir Bhairav

*Dhire Dhire Subah Hui He Jag Uthi Zindagi Film - Haisiyat Year - 1984 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Kaherava Music Director(s) - Bappi Lahiri Singer(s) - Vani Jayaraman, Raj Babbar Links - Lyrics - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~navin/india/songs/isongs/6/604.html Lyrics - http://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_song_Dheere%20Dheere%20Subah%20Hui.html Video - Comments - This is by no means a pure Ahir Bhairav.  There are better ones to use to get a feel for this rag.

*Hamen Koi Gham Nahin Tha, Gham-e-Ashiqi Se Pahle Film - (non-film song) Year -   Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Dadra Music Director(s) -   Singer(s) - Mehedi Hassan Links - Video - Comments - This is a ghazal from his album "Yaadein".  There is a modest amount of mixing of rags going on here.

*Mai Ri Main, Kaise Jiyun Ri Film - Dastak Year - 1970 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Kaherava Music Director(s) - Madan Mohan Singer(s) - Lata Mangeshkar Links - Video - Comments - This is not a good example of Ahir Bhairav.  There is just way too much mixing of other rags going on here.

*Main To Kabse Teri Sharan Men Hun Film - Ram Nagari Year - 1982 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Music Director(s) - Jaidev Singer(s) - Anuradha Paudwal, A Hariharan Links -  Video - Comments -

*Man Anand Anand Chhayo Film - Vijeta Year - 1983 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - There is no tabla in the film version, but the structure of the piece implies either Tintal, Kaherava, or Punjabi Theka (a.k.a. Sitar Khani). Music Director(s) - Ajit Verman Singer(s) - Asha Bhosle, Satyasheel Deshpande Links - Lyrics - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~navin/india/songs/isongs/additions/N8192.html Video - Comments - This starts off as a good example of Ahir Bhairav, but then towards the end it starts to mix elements that are not within the rag

*Meri Vina Tum Bin Roye Film - Dekh Kabira Roya Year - 1957 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Kaherava Music Director(s) - Madan Mohan Singer(s) - Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle Links - Video - Comments - This starts of as a fairly pure version of Ahir Bhairavi, but very quickly there is a lot of mixing of non-Ahir Bhairav elements.  It is not a good example of Ahir Bhairav.

*Puchho Na Kaise Maine Rain Bitai Film - Meri Surat Teri Aankhen Year - 1963 Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Kaherava Music Director(s) - S.D. Burman Singer(s) - Manna Dey Links - Lyrics - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~navin/india/songs/isongs/8/839.html Lyrics - http://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_song_Poochho%20na%20kaise%20maine%20rain%20bitaai.html Video - Comments - This is a very good example of Ahir Bhairav with very little mixing of other rags.  This example is generally held up to be the benchmark for a filmi Ahir Bhairav.

*Ram Ka Gun Gaan Kariye Film - (non-film song)"Ram Shyam Gun Gaan" (Album) Year -   Rag - Ahir Bhairav Tal - Rupak Music Director(s) - Shriniwas Khale Singer(s) - Lata Mangeshkar Links - Video - Comments -
