Indian musican and composer Ravi Shankar has passed away at the age of 91 on Wednesday 7th March.

Ravi Shankar began touring Europe in the mid 50's but it wasn't until he met George Harrison in 1966 that his musical genius was fully recognised by the western world. George Harrison travelled to India for a period of 6 weeks in order to learn to play the sitar under the tutleage of Shankar. In 1967 Ravi Shankar performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and won a Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance for West Meets East, a collaboration with Yehudi Menuhin. Coincidentally the Beatles won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the same year. The album included "Within You Without You" penned by Harrison, who had been influenced by the Indian classical music of Shankur.

In his career Shankar was awarded India's highest honour the Bharat Ratna in 1999 and won three Grammy Awards.He is survived by his estranged son Ajay and daughter-in-law Hindi film actress, Varsha Usgaonkar .

RAVI SHANKAR, DEAD AT 91

Ravi Shankar, the Indian musician and composer exposed to the Western world by the Beatles' George Harrison, is dead at the age of 91. Shankar died on Wednesday (March 7), but his family announced his death on Thursday (March 8).
It was his 1966 introduction to Harrison, however, that exposed Shankar to the mainstream rock audience, including an appearance at the 1969 Woodstock festival and at Harrison's 1971 Concert For Bangladesh; Shankar won the second of his three Grammy.

  1. Hola tengo entendido que el anuncio de muerte de Ravi, se refieren a uno que ha sido director de cine. Y no al Ravi maestro de Hazza, por favor tener cuidado con los anuncios ya que esa noticia está transcurriendo por todo el Internet siendo falsa, gracias.

  2. Yo he visto la noticia del fallecimiento de un compositor llamado Ravi Shankar Sharma, que no tiene que ver con "nuestro" Ravi Shankar. A ver si se puede confirmar la noticia.
    Enhorabuena por vuestro blog.

  4. Efectivamente Marco, es precisamente por esa razón que he publicado esto: para que todos salgan de esa incertidumbre y sepan que "nuestro" Ravi Shankar continúa entre nosotros. La publicación Undercover.fm debería hacer una nuva publicación(rectificación) explicando su error. Saludos.
