Ananda Shankar

Ananda Shankar & His Music

This genre-busting, critically-acclaimed 1975 album seamlessly fuses the traditional music of Ananda Shankar's homeland, India, with the heavy psych-funk of the West, where he'd spent a good deal of time. Ananda Shankar & His Music is rife with funkified sitars, rock guitars, tabla, drums and Moog synthesizers. Featuring the dancefloor killers "Streets Of Calcutta" and "Dancing Drums" alongside a handful of mellower tracks, the original, India-only LP has long been one of the world's most sought-after records, and is presented here complete with historical liner notes. Fallout. 2006.
