Raag Pilu songs?

[Ajay Gupta]

Hi,

I've realized by playing some melodies that I like songs based on Raag Pilu
(where all the 13 notes in an octave are used)
I think "Suhana safar aur yeh mausam hasin..." is one of them.
1. Am I right?
2. Any other songs based on Pilu?
3. Any good renditions of Pilu available in the market??

Thanks

Try:

Chandan Ka Palna - Shabab
Dheere Se Aaja - Albela

I don't think Suhana Safar is in Pilu...

(1). I think the following song is one such:
Suhaani raat dhal chuki, naa jaane tum kab aaogee
By Rafi Sahab in Dulari film.
I may be wrong but I do remember reading this in some mag.

- Manaw Modi.

(2). here is Lata Mangeshkar's five songs in Raag PILU.
From the book Lata M: A Biography by Raju Bharatan.More saiyaanji
utrenge paar ho in URAN KHATOLA.
Maine Rang li aaj chunariya in DULHAN EK RAAT KI by Madan Mohan.
Na maanu na maanu in GANGA JAMUNA
Nadiya kinare hair aayi kangna in ABHIMAAN
Banwari re in EK PHOOL CHAAR KAANTE.
- Hemant Parikh

(3). The other famous songs based on Pilu ( Carnatic Kapi) are :

Oh meri Johar jabin - Manna Dey
jule mein pavanki aayi bahar .. ( Rafi and Lata)
Kaali Ghata chaye more jeeya ghabharaye ....
meene rang li aaj chunariya, sajanaa ... ( Lata )
The notes are handled a little bit different in Carnatic.

(4)...Chandan Ka Palna - Shabab
