A very sad day in music ....

Shankar Family Statement:

It is with heavy hearts we write to inform you that Pandit Ravi Shankar, husband, father, and musical soul, passed away today, December 11th, 2012.
As you all know, his health has been fragile for the past several years and on Thursday he underwent a surgery that could have potentially given him a new lease of life. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the surgeons and doctors taking care of him, his body was not able to withstand the strain of the surgery. We were at his side when he passed away.
We know that you all feel our loss with us, and we thank you for all of your prayers and good wishes through this difficult time. Although it is a time for sorrow and sadness, it is also a time for all of us to give thanks and to be grateful that we were able to have him as a part of our lives. His spirit and his legacy will live on forever in our hearts and in his music.

Ravi Shankar was a wonderful human being whose musical talents were appreciated worldwide.

He probably introduced more people to traditional Indian instruments and sounds than any other musician, in part due to his famous relationship with George Harrision, who learned to play the sitar from Shankar.

One of my favorite Beatles songs, with a strong Indian influence:

RIP Ravi Shankar...
