Ravi Shankar: Raga Bihag

Ravi Shankar: sitar Alla Raka: tabla Kamala Chakravarty: tamboura

Ravi Shankar is one of the true greats of the sitar, a trailblazer whose classical approach and stunning technique swept not only India but the rest of the world as well. Not only did he introduce the West to the unique droning voice of the sitar, but also to the building block of Indian classical music - the raga. This classic live performance features Shankar from his earlier years performing alongside Alla Raka on table and Kamala Chakravarty. The concert focuses on one extensive raga - "Raga Bilag," a timeless evening-themed raga named for the province of Bilag, where it was created. This moving session gives viewers the chance to witness firsthand the virtuosity of this veteran instrumentalist, and lose themselves in the hypnotic swirl of his performance.
