Ananda US レコード& CD

Review: In the early 1970s, Ananda Shankar travelled to Los Angeles and collaborated with various contemporary musicians. Upon returning to India, he continued his musical experimentation and that culminated in the release of his critically acclaimed 1975 album Ananda Shankar & His Music. The album blended Eastern sitar with Western rock guitar, tabla, mridangam, and Moog synthesizers to create a unique jazz-funk sound. After a period of working in India throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, Shankar's profile in the West surged in the mid-1990s as his music gained popularity in club DJ sets, especially in London, reaching a wider audience. A couple of the standout tunes from that album now appear on this limited 7".
