Raga Darbari Kanada

Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan is a posthumous studio album featuring a live recording by the Hindustani classical vocalist Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. The label T-Series released the album in May 2006 on CD format. The recording captures a single extended performance of Raga Darbari Kanada, a prominent raga in the Khyal tradition of North Indian classical music.

The album consists of one track titled Raga Darbari Kanada, spanning 48 minutes and 13 seconds. Bade Ghulam Ali Khan renders the composition in the vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) sections, accompanied by traditional tabla and tanpura. The performance showcases his signature Patiala gharana style, characterized by deep, resonant vocal phrasing and intricate taan patterns. The recording date and accompanying artists remain undocumented in the release metadata.

The 2006 release forms part of T-Series’ catalog of archival classical music, aimed at preserving legacy performances. Bade Ghulam Ali Khan (1902–1968) earned recognition as one of the 20th century’s foremost Hindustani vocalists, and this album contributes to the posthumous dissemination of his work. No additional production credits or liner notes accompany the CD.
