The world was blessed with divine greatness tonight. I saw Ravi and his doughter perform at the lush Historic State Theatre. There isn't much I could say to relay the energy and how it felt, but music has yet again proven to be more powerful than I had ever imagined. |

the shankars are dope as hell. ravi is one of the most important (and underrated in the western world) composers and performers of the 20th century for sure. |

i wouldn't say he was under-rated |

i think so. i never hear people talk about him, and the only time i ever read about him is in context of the beatles. i think his influence and innovation is underrated in western civilization. |

really? i have known of him since i was real young - so have the people i know - i thought he was well-known and well-respected all over the fuzzy place! |

he's well-known and i too have known his name since childhood but it's more like a name people know instead of his musical significance. |

It was in the evening. I don't know the terminology, but the final piece was a raga. The two tabla players were almost as remarkable as the Shankars. The communication between the whole group was incredible. Lots of strange gestures with the head and intense facial expressions that let you know they were REALLY high on their music... the music is very spiritual for them. I've always liked the sound of the sitar, but I never really understand how complex and emotional Ravi's music is until last night. And Anoushka is pretty much taking it from where Ravi left off. It was his last tour I believ, but seeing his daughter, given the chance, would no less of an opportunity than seeing him. |

the tabla is an awesome instrument. considering the message board we're on, i highly recommend the album 'tala matrix' by the supergroup called: tabla beat science. it's spearheaded by bill laswell and features talvin singh. it's basically drum 'n' bass with indian instruments (tabla, sitar, etc.) quite a treat for the ear. |

speaking of tablas, those tablas used on Alpha and Omega on Drukqs are so cool... they almost make the whole song for me... and yes, I LOVE the sound of the sitar... it has so much personallity... |
