B *Basti Basti Parbat Parbat
C *Chandi Ki Divar Na Todi
D *Daiya Re Daiya Laj Mohe Lage
  • Film - Leader
  • Year - 1964
  • Music Director(s) - Naushad
  • Singer(s) - Asha Bhonsle
  • Comments - At times this is pretty good example of Darmbari, but just when you think they have nailed it, they throw in a touch of Shuddha Nishad.  This gives it a hint af Adana.  If you ignore these small lapses,then you can use this piece to get an idea as to how Darbari is structured.

H *Ham Tujh Se Muhabbat Kar Ke
  *Ham Tum Se Juda Ho Ke
H *Hangama Hai Kyon Barpa
  • Film - (non-film song)
  • Year - 1994
  • Music Director(s) -  
  • Singer(s) - Ghulam Ali
  • Comments - This is a ghazal by Ghulam Ali.  Ghulam Ali's style is to mix rags with such abandon that it makes one dizzy.  However in this piece, he stays surprisingly close to Darbari.  Still I would not use this as a guidline to get a feel for this rag.  In all fairness, this is not a reflection upon Ghulam Ali's propensity towards mixing rags, but is instead a reflection of the narrow tightrope that an artist has to cross without stumbling into Jaunpuri, Adana, or any of several related rags.

  • Music Director(s) - Shankar, Jaikishan
  • Singer(s) - Lata Mangeshkar
  • Comments - This is fairly traditional Darbari right up to half way through the song when it suddenly changes.  It introduces a Shuddha Dha into the antara where Darbari only admits to a Komal Dha

*Raha Gardishon Men Haradam
S *Sarfaroshi Ki Tammana
  • Film - Shaheed
  • Year - 1965
  • Music Director(s) - Prem Dhawan
  • Singer(s) - Mohd. Rafi, Manna Dey, Rajendra Mehta
  • Comments - This is a pretty good example of Darbari Kanada.  I would have liked to see a strong presence of the ultra-flattened third (ati komal Ga) and an ultra flattened 6th (ati komal Dha), but I know that this is just too much to expect from a film song.  All things considered this is really a pretty good example if you are struggling to get an understanding of Darbari Kanada.
