Ananda Shankar - Ananda Shankar & His Music - LP

Reissue, Vinyl LP

Mr Bongo presents an official reissue of an iconic, exploratory album by Indian sitar maestro Ananda Shankar. Originally released on His Master's Voice in 1976, it is a sublime collage of sitar-funk, traditional Indian classical music and psychedelic grooves. Nephew of Ravi Shankar, Ananda fused his classical roots with the psychedelic rock he encountered on America's West Coast; dancefloor favorites "Streets of Calcutta" and "Dancing Drums" became firm club favorites, while "The River" and "Dawn" drift into more meditative, blissed-out territory.
