Shankar Family & Friends brings together the visionary sitar maestro Ravi Shankar with a brilliant ensemble of musicians and collaborators, including George Harrison playing as "Hari Georgeson." Recorded at A&M Studios in Los Angeles in 1973, the album stands as a landmark fusion of Indian classical music with Western folk and world influences, reflecting Shankar's innovative spirit and global reach.
This release is celebrated for its rich tapestry of styles—one side offers enchanting instrumentals and songs, while the other presents a thematic ballet, conceived for an un-staged performance. With its blend of tradition and experimentation, Shankar Family & Friends offers listeners a unique journey through sound, making it a standout piece in Ravi Shankar’s expansive legacy.
