Why is this in Religion & Spirituality?
Ravi Shankar is probably the world's greatest master of the sitar, though he may have recently been robbed of that spot by his own young daughter, sitar virtuoso Anoushka. Anoushka is an amazing player, and is very young & cute. Ravi is a dirty old man!
You may know his playing if you have ever heard any sitar on a Beatles record, that was Ravi...

Ravi Shankar is widely believed to be one of if not the best sitarist in the world. He was the one who taught George Harrison the sitar.

Ravi Shankar, the legendary sitarist and composer is India's most esteemed musical Ambassador and a singular phenomenon in the classical music worlds of East and West. As a performer, composer, teacher and writer, he has done more for Indian music than any other musician. He is well known for his pioneering work in bringing Indian music to the West. This however, he did only after long years of dedicated study under his illustrious guru Baba Allaudin Khan and after making a name for himself in India. And...he is Norah Jones' father.
