Album Notes & Community Reviews

A watershed moment for Indian classical music in the West, this masterful, hypnotic afternoon performance completely mesmerized the 1967 rock festival crowd and cemented Shankar as a global cultural icon. The deeply spiritual, highly technical raga explorations introduced an entire generation to intricate microtonal improvisations.
