We'd like to upload everything for free - but filming, editing, and hosting cost money, and we’re a small not-for-profit organisation. Signing up to the Darbar Player costs about the same as a couple of coffees a month ($5), which we hope is an excellent price for such a wealth of unique music.

I was fortunate to witness his surbahar duet with his legendary father at the tender age of 18 .It was breathtaking how they both wielded this magnificent instrument and played the majestic raag Darbari. Irshad Khan is too humble to mention this historic event

[@Prof_Hazra_IIT]

Lovely lovely artiste. A genuine stalwart without any pretext. His Jogkauns is by far the best I have heard in recent times. Skill-wise, he is on part with the best. Just that he never got his due from our hypocritical media.

[@bodhibrikkha]
