Finally! It's beautiful!!!

I say finally because in the past I had received as a gift from an Indian friend of mine, who lives in Mombasa, a cassette of Indian classical music. He told me, "listen to it, you'll see it is different from all other Indian music". It was by Shankar. I fell in love with that music and I still have the old cassette. It gives me extreme pleasure that this music appears in this forum and that people talk about and listen to music from other cultures, especially Indian culture. Thank you

The difference between Indian music and Western music perhaps lies in the fact that Indian music is a bit more aware of its spiritual nature and its divine origin? Shankar, what a great musician he was, a great man, a devotee of God, of Sai Baba. Even his daughter is not bad, Anoushka: God "took back" the father, but left us the daughter.
