Best Of Ravi Shankar

Three light classical ragas, performed by sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar: Raga Mian Ki Malhar¸ a somewhat melancholic raga for the rainy season. Raga Kaunsi Kanhra, a composite raga thought to be ideal for after midnight with a deep, meditational tone. Raga Mishra Ghara Dhun, an intensely lyrical raga, played at any time of day or night, containing a brief, folksy tabla solo.
