Shankar performed at the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971, held at Madison Square Garden in New York. After the musicians had tuned up on stage for over a minute, the crowd of rock-music fans broke into applause, to which the amused Shankar responded, "If you like our tuning so much, I hope you will enjoy the playing more." I will never forget it !
He's talking. Telling me about life and the pain and joys of it...through his sitar and Anoushka complements him in agreement. He makes me accept life and be thankful for it.
*At the end, they touched Ravi Shankar's feet as a gratitude for letting them play alongside him* . This is culture of highest order, divine quality. Thank you Bharat from this rest of the world.
Ravi Shankar gave me my musical blessing as a Tampura player in the India music skool by that time the teacher was Yamaludin Bhartia I was 10 years old I was nerveus because everybody was exited that he come to visit Pramod child friendly tabla player explained very kind that this was a mixed from flowers that was put between the eyes That calmed me That was the musical blessing for me as a 10 year old 🙏 When he artived we sit in a cirkel and each one where called to him and got this blessing That is a blessed memory 💜 Keeping this blessing alive by following the only India music skool in Amsterdam Keeping my father and mine music history alive 🙏🎶🎵💜
The Indian classical music by father and daughter will make the world and all humans happy and peaceful. May Anushka play the Sitar as beautifully as her father and keep our world in peace and with much happiness, Eshagh and Iranian..
I sat in Carnegie Hall with my Grandmother & heard Ravi Shankar in his first concert outside of India. I have never forgotten that experience. Afterwards we got to thank him backstage with translators. I am 77 yrs now & this music still leaves me near tears.
my friend knew him personally and got to also meet his daughgter nora jones...... ravi was a white supremacist, nazi, fascist type of person..... was also self delusional and couldnt deal with the fact that he had dark skin. he would often look in the mirror and lie to himself saying he had white skin and blond hair........ his daughter norah jones also does the same....... but other then that, ravi was not even trying to write music.....would often tell his family that he just hits anything on his guitar and people seem to like it.....says he doesnt know what hes doing...... that he wants to also play western country music.
What a wonderful experience for you, I'm just now 63 years old and didn't learn of his music until the late 70s and early 80s through George Harrison, like a lot of other folks did 🙏❤️
@luis martinez absolute lies. First, Indian classical music is an oral tradition, not written, and he studied all his life -- and taught it too. And he was not political, but engaged in various humanitarian projects.
A very soulful performance by Late Padm Vibhushan Pt Ravi Shankar and daughter Anushka Shankar !!! My wholehearted tribute to my mentor Pt Ravi Shankar Ji 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I remember falling in love with Ravi Shankar when I was a youth and I was watching an Ed Sullivan United Nations music festival, a special shown on CBS in the early 70s. The next day, a Monday, my big sister drove me (I was too young to drive yet) to a local department store where I purchased the 1971 album "The Genius of Ravi Shankar" I played it constantly. Other kids could have their "Jackson 5" or "The Partridge Family" I loved Ravi Shankar and of course Sitar music in general.
Boston at Symphony Hall. You could hear the waves in Cape Cod it was that quiet. What a journey everyone took. I met Ravi in the lobby after the concert. What a honor! I just found his signature he signed for me. One of our all time great musicians!
I was fortunate to be at a very intimate concert on a grass hill at Syracuse University. He was at the bottom of the hill and we were all sitting around at various places on the top, like a small amphitheater! It was Magical!
I have loved this mans music for the last 53 years. To know his daughter is carrying on his legacy is a blessing to the world. Anoushka has the face of a Hindu Goddess and a legacy of her own.
Yes, I remember watching another concert with these two on tv around ten years ago (on Mezzo, of course!) in the same kind of setting, Both then and now: superb musicianship and sense of rhythm and tone - and the affection and shared understanding between father and daughter make it a joy to watch!
These 2 wonderful human beings and George Harrison so missed inspired me to really enjoy this music. Thank You Sweet Jesus for giving mankind such awesome skills
I was fortunate enough to hear him on sitar with Aliakbarkhan on sarod and on tabla Nikhil banergy fifty years back in concert at Surat Gujarat. All had d shown amazing performance still I can very well recall it today also
Used to work in San Francisco, then on weekends drive up to Eureka to the college where we had a cabin in Blue Lake while my wife went to college there. Late at night, that road north winds through mountains and valleys and towering redwoods. You are the only one on the highway under the wilderness of stars, with Ravi and Ali on the radio, playing an evening raga, in an out-of-body magic carpet ride. Lucky you!!
Приветствую ВАС ОБОИХ! Вы несёте это и почти никто не понимает, что не инструмент-в данном времени играет-а душа поёт! Хотелось бы услышать ещё больше!
This guy be healing billions all his life by tuning them to higher consciousness and yet people be seeing him as a mere artist.... If only people knew the ancient extra-terrestrial source of all human knowledge, they'd know that all musicians are healers... And not mere artists... Much love to the spirit of sir Ravi...
I am Sri Lankan, I am Latha, 2021/09/26, great a Pandith Ravi Shankar for sitar famous in the World , I am listening programs of them. Very beautiful .thank ''s a lot.
In my view, as a fan of 60s rock, and being an Indian american musician today, Ravi Shankar opened the door for me. His daughter Anoushka is truly a gift to our community. @earthfaith
He died a little over a month after this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravi_Shankar. Amazingly he was 92. That is his daughter in concert with him: 'Shankar performed his final concert, with daughter Anoushka, on 4 November 2012 at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach, California.'
So beautiful....my beautiful sister and father are with me in soul...they embodied music and we listened with my mother to Indian music growing up along with rock and classical. It brings back so many euphoric afternoons in the Sun overlooking the sea in our house. And thanks to my father, we went to a Ravi Shankar concert in California......it was ecstatic.
As my Guru used to say, there are only 3 masters of Taal... Birju Maharaj, Bismilla Khan and Pt. Ravi Shankar. What a grip over taal... simply amazing. About style of playing... beyond comments. Made my boring times in Corona pandemic..
I was fortunate to see Pt Ravi Shankar at concert at the national Cathedral, Washington DC in late 80s...was totally mesmerized. Then had the even greater fortune to see both himself and his daughter Anouska in concert in Philly...it was most amazing!!!
At the age of 85 (yes, eighty five) for over an hour performing as he did on a complicated string board such as Sitar.... all of my respect and adulaton. I have seen him play with absolute grandeur in many other concerts, perhaps with better flow and punch, but this stands out for what he stood for, right beside his daughter. Sorry, I am unable to type for a few moments, excuse me.
Often imitated but never duplicated. There is nothing like Mr. Shankar to begin the day with. India may have it's shortcomings but it's music must be the most sophisticated in our world. I met him once quite by chance.
All nations, all persons have their own shortcomings, yet, India has the richest and most ancient culture in the world which throbs in every Indian's soul and daily life in innumerable ways : ) The music of Ravi Shankar is just one of the poignant expressions of its beauty..there's a pure sparkling sea out there to explore for us all!
Ravi Shankar, sitar Anoushka Shankar, sitar Bikram Ghosh, tabla Tanmoy Bose, tabla Kenji Ota, tanpura Alan Kozlowskit, tanpura Recorded at The Union Chapel, Islington, London, 2002 (see end credits) There is a BBC DVD Box Set containing this concert: Ravi Shankar - In Portrait
31:58 What little girl/young woman wouldn't be set up for life with such a loving glance of pure affection from her Daddy? Father/daughter bonding par excellence. Such music is surely the language of the God's. And the late great Ravi it's emissary.
Stunning performance by all the musicians, but the camera work was incredible also ... showing me exactly what I wanted to see exactly when I wanted to see it. I don't know if I will see performers like the Shankars in my lifetime, so I'm most grateful someone captured this.
I directed this film. It should at least be credited. The whole team that made it deserve praise. It works vsiaully because this is a conert film made with devotion and love. This is music for the soul and it must be filmed with soul. I am glad it touched you!
I was privileged to see Ravi & Anoushka performing at the Kennedy Center in 2007; I had grown up with Indian music and took my then-girlfriend who had basically no exposure to it at all, and it was a mesmerizing experience for us both.
Un très grand Maître pour l'humanité, les sages, les artistes, mais aussi pour.la paix des esprits et des âmes !!! Les politiciens, les militaires et citoyens pauvres d'esprit, devraient être initiés à ce haut langage esthétique et de paix pour ce monde. Merci BenjWaganFay
Quelle sagesse !!! Quelle humilité !!! Esclavagistes, colonialistes et fascistes Devraient en prendre des cures pour guérir leurs âmes malades. MERCI MILLE fois. BenjWaganFay/ SÉNÉGAL/ AFRIQUE
This one is a masterpiece by Pt.Ravi Sankarji. Couldn't help noticing how Anoushka Sankar looked at him with immense pride and also a fair amount of motherly concern towards her aging father. 💝
He seemed to be encouraging her musically .Like hey I know you can do this you did this at home -and She seems to be acknowledging-but no dad you are the master ,keep teaching us .Very nice performance
Respectful student admiring, marveling at and learning from her master; devoted daughter loving her father. It's very touching. He seems frail and yes, she seems concerned. But he goes on to play for 10 more years! A privilege to share this performance..
I suffer from depression and this music made me feel as if i am in Hindi temple with ultimate inner peace..thanks.:) objection your honor ..i adhere this comment but i didn.t say it
Pourquoi est-ce un instant aussi magique ? Parce que c'est la complicité d'un père et d'une fille. L'un galopant toujours en tête malgré son âge, stimulé par sa musique et bien accompagné par une compagne tellement respectueuse qu'elle ne se place jamais devant lui, le seconde quand elle sent qu'il fatigue, sans essayer d'en faire trop. Reprenant Bose d'un coup de tête quand celui-ci se décale et ne semble pas comprendre la phrase du maître. Quel respect mutuel ! J'admire cette transmission du savoir dans l'amour. C'est tellement beau qu'on ne sait plus si c'est la musique qu'il faut entendre ou d'autres voies spirituelles... Respect! Bravo à tous. Il est à jamais dans notre cœur.
This has been an amazing piece. Pt. Ravi Shankar and his daughter makes it look easy.. but oh boy.. the preparation and skills are unimaginable. God bless... those who created this music and those who are able to appreciate it. Mother Earth is a heaven and our chance of experience it in a human form is unique. Please dont waste it in hate and anger and greed. Lets be appreciative of what we got here.
Tento encontrar palavras para expressar o que sinto e não consigo....é simplesmente MARAVILHOSO....essa música é de outro planeta...a India pertence a outro planeta! Só pode ser!! Abraços do Brasil!
There will never be another Ravishankar! It is God's grace that he declined to join the dance group of his elder brother Uday Shankar! His daughter Anuska has already risen to the level of a great genius! May God bless her to rise on her own, When I was a student of Calcutta Medical College (1952-57), Ravi Shankar always accepted to be at our annual reunion programs- typically as the last performer past midnight I m those days medical residents had no wireless cell phones- as result, the patients even knew that they better remain healthy at night on those few days !! He was humble and informal !1
I’m a western classical musician, and don’t know the first thing about classical Indian music. But I think it’s so beautiful to see people keeping classical traditions from all around the world alive! Music allows us to connect across cultures, and if we preserve it across time
All these subtle, delicate, textures.....which somehow hold so much weight.... the beauty of the maestro soul..... these is incredible we ALL can feel ..... the power of the art of the invisible .... music!
I first saw Ravi Shankar and accompanists in a tiny auditorium at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. Absolutely a lifetime event. It was a master class but they let some of us sit in. Electrifying lecture and performances. It ran over by more than an hour and no one noticed (except my parents who had come to pick me up and were in the parking lot😜).
