About a year and a half ago I began what would end up being a radical immersion into Indian music. I had never spent much time with sitar music. To me it seemed such an obvious choice for guitarists looking to expand their listening tastes, or something haha. Also, I was never attracted to the sound of sitar early on. I was more drawn to instruments like the tanbour(Iran), guqin( China) and Oud (Arabic and Turkish).
Well, this changed after a sample of Ustad Vilayat Khan. An incredible musician and master sitarist.
I highly recommend some close attentive listening to him. Here he is playing the beautiful morning raag Bhairavi. Exquisite.
