Raga Durga - Tana Derena Dere Dere

Padma Talwalkar recorded Raga Durga – Tana Derena Dere Dere as the fourth track on her 1998 album Ragas Bihag, Durga & Basant. Dadra. The label Nimbus Records released the album in CD format with a total runtime of 4 minutes and 23 seconds for this composition.

The track presents a rendition of Raga Durga, a morning raga associated with the Bhairav thaat in Hindustani classical music. Talwalkar employs the khayal style with tana (melodic improvisation) patterns in the lyrics Derena Dere Dere, characteristic of her vocal technique. The album also features renditions of Raga Bihag, Raga Basant, and a dadra composition, though specific details of the accompanying artists or instrumental arrangements remain undocumented in available sources.

The release date for the album is confirmed as 1998, with Nimbus Records serving as the publisher. Talwalkar’s interpretation of Raga Durga aligns with her broader discography, which emphasizes traditional Jaipur-Atrauli gharana stylings. No additional production credits, session musicians, or alternate versions of this track are verified in public records.
