Brammie Steve Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/ravi-shankar]Ravi Shankar, who has died aged 92 after undergoing heart surgery, was the Indian maestro who put the sitar on the musical map. [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/georgeharrison]George Harrison called him "the godfather of [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/worldmusic]world music" and it was Shankar's vision that brought the sounds of the raga into western consciousness. He was thus the first performer and composer to substantially bridge the musical gap between [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/india]India and the west. He was still winning awards in the new century: in 2002 his album Full Circle: Live at Carnegie Hall (2000) achieved a Grammy for best world music album. Shankar's distinction as a sitar player lay in his brilliant virtuosity, creativity and musicianship. In the west his name is synonymous with the music of India.[url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/dec/12/ravi-shankar-dies]http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/dec/12/ravi-shankar-dies This man had a tremendous influence on so many music styles, not just The Beatles and Stones. A remarkable man! RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
