Today is the day:

Anoushka Shankar, Ravi Shankar's daughter and sitar master as well, will perform for the first time in Chile. My father (80 years old) saw Ravi in 1973 in a sold out Theater in Santiago. He told me that a lot of people smoked weed during the show that night: The venue was full of smoke, so, Ravi said to the crowd in the middle of his performance: "stop smoking please or I'm leaving" 🤣
Today I go to this show with my wife and my dad, as a gift for him; a tribute to his musical history and the direct influence he had on me to finally become a professional musician; on my love for music, and my interest in new fascinating sounds from all over the world.

I'm quite excited! Go!

A new piece "Undercurrent" piano solo.

"Undercurrent" is a study on those emotions rolling underneath your skin, trying repeatedly to find expression.

Not short but really interesting read on Annapurna Devi - whom I had only heard snippets about (always reverentially and always how wronged & marginalized she was).
Ravi Shankar got a lot of fame & accolades, and is well known, I hope you take a moment to learn about his wife (& guru Allaudin Khan's daughter) - Annapurna Devi and her musical brilliance.

So wish there were recordings of her playing - and even the sole one was accessible.
