Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after a swim with Passages a collaborative chamber music studio album co-composed by Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass, released in 1990 through Private Music. Consisting of arrangements by each of the composers around themes written by the other, the album's content is a hybrid of Hindustani classical music and Glass' distinct American minimal contemporary classical style.

AllMusic's Jim Brenholts called the music "brilliant". Benholts wrote that Shankar's "smooth" style and Glass' dissonant orchestrations mixed well, and recommended Passages to fans of other minimalist composers such as John Cage, Steve Reich and Terry Riley. - Wikipedia

#HappyBirthday #RIP 🎗

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!

La sitarista, hija del legendario Ravi Shankar, alista su debut en Chile tras su sorpresiva colaboración con Damon Albarn para el último disco The Gorillaz. En sus dos shows presentará el cierre de una trilogía marcada por la intuición, la sanación y un presente creativo en expansión. "El mundo necesita un reinicio”, asegura.
