Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll? For Ravi Shankar, the Sixties were trippy dream.
The Byrds recorded at the same studio and heard Shankar's music, which led them to incorporate some of its elements in their music, and in turn introduced the genre to their friend George Harrison of The Beatles. Harrison became interested in Indian classical music, bought a sitar and used it to record the song "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)". This led to Indian music being used by other musicians and created the raga rock trend.
Harrison met Shankar in London in 1966 and visited India for six weeks to study sitar under Shankar in Srinagar. During the visit, a documentary film about Shankar named Raga was shot by Howard Worth, and released in 1971. Shankar's association with Harrison greatly increased Shankar's popularity and soon thereafter Shankar had become "the most famous Indian musician on the planet" ... by 1968, George Harrison released his own sitar drenched solo album ("Wonderwall"), in the same year of '68 Ravi Shankar released one of his best albums: "SIX RAGAS" a mind journey of adventure, sitar webs of psychedelic sound swirl in atmosphereic highs for the ages...
