Â This is one of Ravi Shankars most famous recordings. As he describes it, he
was very nervous about playing a festival that consisted only of pop and rock
artists, and to an audience perhaps unfamiliar with (and uninterested in)
classical Indian music.

Shankars music is extremely reflective on this CD. However, it is not lazy or
sluggish, but finely wrought, intense and hypnotic, and melodically rich. Two
long pieces are heard here with a short tabla solo, based on a complicated 12
beat rhythmical pattern, heard in the middle. This concert, recorded in 1967 at
the height of the flower power movement, brought international fame to the
master sitar player at a time when United States audiences were just becoming
more globally aware.
