Sitar

After the early experimental electronic tracks (1966-1970) I had a trip to India where I bought a sitar which I tried to play by teaching myself, listening to tracks of Ravi Shankar.
On this track (around 1971 - 1972) you can hear the same friend play bass that I did the electronic tracks with...

Sorry for the sound quality issues, it's antique..

شفت القمر على صدر جميل
ياكل حلاوة ثم يشرب خمير 
كل شي له نظر
ياحمام شيل..
كل شي له نظر

آه يالدان يالدان يالدان


الحلو لابس ثياب النوم
ومزرّره بحب مرجاني
ساعة بيسكر ساعة يميل
شبه العود الريحاني

يا طالعين القصر لفوق
يا نازلين سلمولي
على غزال وعيونه السود
هو السبب لتلف روحي

قومي العبي يا حلاوة على لوز 
يا عازبة ولا ليكيش جوز
بيعي الحلق وهاتي لك جوز
يلعب معاكي ع الناموسية

خش المسا وظلام الليل
واللي يجاور يجاور
جاورت انا كحيل العين
أم الحلق والأساور
وكل شي له نظر


شفت القمر

In the late November days we remember death, and especially the death of our loved ones.
This sitar music is to express some of the pain I felt after my mother passed away.
(Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted !)

Curura is a Colombian traditional re-imagined by Candelaria.  We added tablas, heavy bass and drum kit to go along with the traditional Colombian gaita flute to create a new style, Indian ragga cumbia.  

Curura

This is the first single from the new Joe Satriani album "Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards". More information at http://www.satriani.com/

Here's what Joe has to say about this track:

"It’s almost the history of rock guitar riffs. The main guitar line was a hard one for me to figure out. It sounds kind of simple and funny, but it perplexed me.

Light Years Away was something of a puzzle that I needed to solve. But once the band and I played it together, we looked at one another and went, ‘Wow! That really swings.’ It does have a touch of fusion, but it’s got the rock, too."

Light Years Away

On Dec, 11, 2012, The GodFather of Sitar & WorldMusic left this world's stage to play with the heavenly orchestra. This is a little tribute to him who was an inspiration to so many, and to me to get hold of a sitar & try to play it. May he live & be blessed forever...

"Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar, who was responsible for bringing classical Indian music to the masses in the Western world via Beatle George Harrison's interest in Shankar, his instrument and his Hindu religion, died at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla last week. He was 92.

Shankar had been given heart-valve replacement surgery. A message on his website said, "Though the surgery was successful, recovery proved too difficult for the 92-year-old musician."

The three-time Grammy winner's final performance was Nov. 4 in Long Beach; it was a celebration of his 10th decade in music.

In 1952, Shankar began a musical collaboration with Western classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin but their work, while highly lauded, didn't bring about mass exposure to a Western audience. That would come a decade-and-a-half later.

In 1965, Harrison developed a fascination with the sitar and Indian music. The Beatle bought a secondhand sitar in a London shop and improvised a sitar part on John Lennon's "Norwegian Wood," marking the first time the instrument was used in a Western pop song (months earlier, The Yardbirds recorded a version of their hit, "Heart Full of Soul," with a sitar as the lead instrument, but that version wasn't released until much later).

In June 1966, Harrison met Shankar and asked to be his student. Shankar accepted. Interest in the sitar and other Indian instruments and the music spread through rock music like a wildfire.

His appearance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival provided his introduction to a young generation of music fans eager for diverse sounds and blending of musical forms. He also performed at Woodstock and in August 1971, he convinced his friend Harrison to stage rock music's first major benefit, the Concert for Bangladesh, that raised international awareness of the plight of refugees following a devastating cyclone and civil war in the south Asian nation. Shankar opened the two concerts (afternoon and evening) at Madison Square Garden.

Eventually, Shankar became mostly critical of rock's incorporation of the sitar because of its connection to drugs. He and Harrison remained the best of friends and collaborated often until Harrison's death from lung cancer in Los Angeles in November 2001. Harrison was 58.

Among Shankar's survivors are his wife Sukanya and two daughters, acclaimed sitar player Anoushka Shankar Wright, whose husband, Joe Wright, directed the recently released film, "Anna Karenina," and Shankar-Wright's half-sister, adult contemporary singer-songwriter Norah Jones."

Sri Anirban Ghosh has been taking training from Pandit Manilal Nag of Bishnupur gharana for the last two decades. Sri Ghosh has started his early learning from his mother Late Smt. Snehalata Ghosh who was a student of Ustad Mustaq Ali Khan.

Sitar (Raag: Madhubanti, Taal: Chartal ki sawari) by Anirban Ghosh

Having started off as a drummer in a PopRock Coverband, passing through the eXPerimental & psychedelic stages of music of the 1970s, arrived in the New Millennium as a percussionist in the Berlin Band "Los Multikultis", privileged to play alongside brilliant musicians like Colin Bass of the Band "CAMEL", I now mainly produce WorldFusion music in my home studio in Berlin, Germany   
----------------------------
I'm a Hobby Musician (various drums, sitar, guitar, vox, plus now VST's & loops), Sound- & ComputerEngineer from Berlin/Germany.
Initially having been somewhat forced to "enjoy" a musical education of sorts as a child (playing sheet music on a recorder) I really started enjoying music with the appearance of The Beatles. So I started off my "career" as a drummer in the mid - 1960s here:

After the Band dissolved, and inspired by the upcoming of psychedelic & electronic music I got into SoundExperiments together with the BassMan of our group. Of course, there is no way these can compare to the intricate "symphonies" being created nowadays in the age of computer music.

Further following the path of The Beatles, esp. George Harrison, I travelled to India in 1971, getting myself a Sitar there, and upon my return trying to teach myself to play on it:

Later I found out that I also was able to sing, and so I also learned some Guitar playing

In the mid-1990's I met my friend the BassMan again who had moved to Bavaria and joined another Band. The "Bavarian Power Jam" Session came about very spontaneously around 1995. Credits for anything but drumming go to http://www.dbusk.de

Now, having seen the vast possibilities at hand, I have got into "it" again...and with a little help from my newly found and amazingly lovely SoundCloud & FaceBook friends I feel I could succeed...
