Following raag Darbari discussion, I'd like to present two tracks - one by Asha Bhosle which is in raag desh and also provide a link to another track by Mehdi Hassan in same raga. It's very easy to identify them. Listening to each one after another will provide the most satisfying experience - also a good exercise for music students. The objective is get closer to identifying a certain raga while listening to different rendering.
