Description : A Life In Music :
The nephew of Indian sitar legend Ravi Shankar, Ananda Shankar--though never the darling of Beatles and Stones--was an excellent sitar player in his own right. On these 22 tracks, recorded between the mid-1970s and the artist's death in 1999, Shankar fuses Indian ragas with a variety of Western pop/rock styles, often incorporating funk and psychedelia into the mix, as revealed on inventive, groove-laden tracks such as "Jungle Symphony" and "Charging Tiger."

Review : A Life In Music :
There is so much to write about this great sitarist/instrumentalist, but all of a sudden i can't find much to write now! Anand Shankar was probably one of the 'pionners' of what many address it as 'fusion' music! If you have good ear for the music, i can't see how you can be disappointe by this master piece!!!
