ananda shankar (dii)

Ananda Shankar’s self-titled debut is a trailblazing blend of Indian classical and psychedelic rock, boldly combining the sitar with Moog synthesizers, electric guitars, and groovy rhythms. A standout in the East-meets-West musical experiments of the 1970s, the album includes mesmerizing reimaginings of tracks like “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Light My Fire” alongside original compositions like “Snow Flower.”

Shankar’s vision bridges cultures and traditions, offering a futuristic soundscape rooted in raga but unafraid to explore modern textures. This record remains a vital entry in the world of global fusion and experimental instrumental music.
