i had heard of him and seen a little footage prior to last fall but last fall at monterey...we were on site in the RV lot and late at night after visiting the stage and what not we come back and our neighbors are playing ravi from right there at the monterey pop festival, of course many were "to the gills" but i never UNDERSTOOD eastern rhythms or sounds until that night. mind was officially blown. everything about this human is captivating.

Love this guy, RIP Ravi

Rest in Peace, Ravi!! I hope you and George are making beautiful music together today. Sending sympathy to your family and friends.

Was really sad to see this. Thank you Ravi for being alive, and bringing your music to the West. RIP

I can't think of Ravi without thinking of George....They both opened lots of ears and minds.

The legend will live on. RIP

Highly recommend anything pre-Capitol Records, but the Ravi Shankar/Ali Akbar Khan - Ragas (1987) is decent. If you can find the albums on World Pacific, it's a good place to start.

Uttterly, totally captivating music....Thank You Ravi for everything****rip brother
