What was the best concert (or two) you've ever been to and one that you wished you had been to?

151. I wasn't familiar, so I googled Ravi Shankar and found some interesting facts.

His mentor was Guru Ustad Allauddin Khan, who he called Baba (literally father). Ravi Shankar first saw Baba in 1934 in Calcutta, when he was 14 years old. In 1938, Shankar became Ustad Allaudin Khan's pupil after feeling the strong pull of music.


We’re taking a look back at an iconic moment in pop music history, the time that Ravi Shankar, the legendary Indian musician, taught The Beatles member George Harrison how to play the traditional Indian instrument, the sitar.

It may seem just another moment in a long and illustrious career for Harrison but what transpired was a rich and fruitful partnership between the pair which would not only see Harrison promote both Shankar and Indian music through his various channels with The Beatles. But it would also see Shankar become a deeply respected musician in the Western world on his own merit.
