5.0 out of 5 stars
Indian music and Shankar breakthrough into the United States, December 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Monterey International Pop Fest (Audio CD)
This legendary recording was originally issued by Liberty/World Pacific records in late 1967. This was the concert that first introduced sitar pioneer Ravi Shankar and Indian music to the western world and to the mass pop culture of the 1960s in the United States. It established Ravi's concert style of an elaborate Raga, followed by a tabla solo and concluding with a lively dhun. The raga presented here is perhaps one of the finest sitar solos ever recorded and is a good example of Pandit Shankar at the height of his early career.
