George Harrison and Ravi Shankar

"The first time I was introduced to Indian music was that in the concert that George Harrison organised for Bangladesh, at that time he had invited Ravi Shankar….there were big floods in Bangladesh and they were trying to raise funds and then he introduced Ravi Shankar who was going to play the sitar and he said that: “The music that we are playing this evening is now a little different to the normal music that we are used to in the west, it is of a more serious nature”
