What would my blogspot be without my boy Alan? Shout out to him for putting me onto yet another band who makes wonderful music in a language I don't speak. I can tell you it's some upbeat, spicey, latin funk from Mexico. I can tell you it's their self-titled debut album, I can tell you the shit is pure hotness. It's like carne asada for your earholes. With guacomole and sour cream. And a tall ice-cold glass of horchata.
Ok, now I'm just hungry.

This week will end my run of sitar music for the time being. I think. I mean, who can get enough of it? But I'll try and mix it up a bit next week. This superb album is a collaboration between American Composer, Philip Glass and our favorite sitarist, Ravi Shankar. Classical West meats Classical East. Nuff said. Enjoy!

SITAR HERO!
I've been completely overwhelmed by the Jayo. Which is part of the reason I'm a little late this round. It's gonna be alright though. It's Friday. The weekend is almost here. And I've got some more soothing sitar music to put us all in the right.
Anoushka Shankar is the beautiful and talented daughter of Ravi Shankar. I chose her 2000 sophmore release, Anourag, not only because I really like it, but also because her father, Ravi, makes an auspicious guest appearance on the last track. Hearing these two sitar masters play together is great. Enjoy. I hope it prepares you for a fantastic weekend!
TRACKLIST:
1. Shuddha Sarang
2. Puriya Dhanashri
3. Hamsadhwani Tabla Duet
4. Yaman Kalyan
5. Swarna Jayanti

BEAUTIFUL
I decided that you all needed more Indian music in your life. Another legendary Sitar player is Vilayat Khan. He recorded his first 78 RPM disc at the age of 8, and gave his last concert in 2004 at the age of 75. The media liked to play up a rivalry between Khan and Ravi Shankar, but in actuality there was never much to it. Over the years he turned down several prestigious awards from his homeland, claiming that the committees were not musically educated enough to bestow such accolades.
Ok, enough posturing like I'm some sort of expert on the subject. Y'all got access to google just as much as I do. Enjoy the music.

VIBE OUT!
Legendary violinist Yehudi Menuhin has compared Ravi Shankar to Mozart and George Harrison has called him the Godfather of World Music. Shankar has brought the sounds of classical Indian music to the masses for almost half a century. I really can't say
what hasn't already been said about the man - he's a genius. Plain and simple.
