Ananda Shankar was a popular musician of India,
who excelled in fluxing the western into the eastern music styles. He
was born on 11 December 1942 at Almora in the Uttar Pradesh state to
eminent classical dancers, Amala and Uday Shankar. He also happened to
be the nephew of the world famous Sitarist, Ravi Shankar. Yet he chose
to learn the instrument from Dr Lalmani Misra of Varanasi instead of his
uncle. Later on, he married Tanushree Shankar.

about this unique musician Ananda Shankar, who traveled to Los Angeles
in the late 1960s. Here he played alongside many stalwarts in the field
of music like Jimi Hendrix. Reprise Records signed Ananda Shankar on and
this lead to the release of his first self-titled album in 1970. It
comprised original Indian classical compositions and sitar-based
versions of popular western hit songs such as that of The Rolling
Stones' Jumpin' Jack Flash and The Doors' Light My Fire.
Ananda
Shankar came back to India during the early 70s after the successful
debut of his first international music album. More confident now,
Shankar continued his musical experimentation and finally launched his
most talked about album 'Ananda Shankar And His Music', which brought
together the sounds of the sitar, guitar, tabla, mridangam, drums and
the moog synthesizers. The very same album was re-released in 2005
reintroducing the melodies Ananda Shankar spent his entire life history
creating.
The popularity of Shankar's music soared again during the
mid 1990s after it made its way into the night clubs, especially those
in London. The launch of Blue Note Records in 1996 further served to
introduce Shankar's music to a newer and even larger number of
audiences. Yet another one 'Blue Juice Vol. 1' belted out two
outstanding sound tracks "Dancing Drums" and "Streets Of Calcutta". In
1990s, Ananda Shankar composed music as well as toured the UK. 'Walking
On' was released in 2000 after Shankar's sudden death the year before.
