I met Ravi and his daughter Anushka after a show in Tampa, Florida, in 2005. It had been a magical night, the two of them performing together. Ravi's music was a profound inspiration for my spiritual growth at the time, and to this day I feel honored to have had the experience of meeting this great man in this lifetime.

The sound of the Sitar always reminds me of George Harrison, on whom Ravi Shankar had a great influence both musically and spiritually.

Shankar was instrumental (sorry) in bringing Indian music to Western ears; not just The Beatles but also inspiring Philip Glass to rethink the way music is structured in the Western tradition.

India - land of music instruments and their origins! Period.

@JFairweather 7 месяцев назад

Note that the sitar has Persian origins - sitar meaning three string tar. Also, the flat bridge that produces the buzz was used on ancient harps. The development of the simple tar into what it became was Indian genius.
