George Harrison of the Beatles Group introduced Pandit Ravi Shankar and became a scholar of Panditji
After Basant finished talking outside, he wanted to talk about Shankar Jaikison's other rag Ragini based songs. But before that, I remember another experiment that has rarely been written in the last sixty-seven years. Film music student Chandrasekhar Vaidya insisted on writing about it because the subject has written extensively about it in Indian languages. Nothing has been written in Gujarati. It is important to know a little background before coming to that point.
The first speaking film came in 8 - Ardeshir Irani's Alam Ara. Playback singing started for the first time in 2. Since then he has only experimented with Shankar Jaikis till date. Why wouldn't any musician say this to anyone else? The same question will come to you as I do. At the end of the decade, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Ustad Alla Rakha left for film and left for the world to promote classical music.
In the sixties, world-renowned violinist Jew Manuhin was attracted to Pandit Ravishankar's sitarvidan and to Indian music. In 2-4, the two great artists got together. West Meets East got a record in the 8th which also won a Grammy Award. The Jewish Menhuine described Indian music as deeper than the Pacific Ocean and told its students that if they want to enjoy the spiritual power of music, first learn Indian music. (By the way, the Pacific Ocean is some 4,000 feet deep in some places. The Jewish manhuine calls Indian music even deeper than that. He also says that we play others created and written in paper.
Our music is for the group, an artist like Ustad Bismillah Khan or Amir Khan in your music draws thousands of people for hours. Indian music is divine and a blessing to those who want to go the spiritual path.)
It was around this time that George Harrison of the Beatles Group, who had driven the younger generation of Europeans to Europe around 8-4, introduced Pandit Ravi Shankar and became a disciple of Panditji. He remained a disciple of Panditji till the last moments of his life. The history of the latter is a matter of time.
After Panditji and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan remained in the United States and established Indian music teaching institutes. Then the doors of Europe America opened to other Indian artists. Many foreigners went on to train in Indian music.
After that much background, let's get back to film music. When Shankar Jaikisan came, Naushad, Si Ramachandra, Sajjad Hussain, etc., had dozens of jazz musicians. Young musicians like Laxmikant Pyarelal and RD Burman were also on the field to compete with Shankar Jakison in the sixties. But Shankar Jackson's confidence was so overwhelming that he decided to do a risky experiment. On Friday, the unique experiment that has been unparalleled so far. Please be patient while ...
