Ravi Shankar (born April 7, 1920 in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India) is a Bengali-Indian musician best known for his virtuosity on the sitar.
A disciple of Allauddin Khan (founder of the maihar gharana of indian classical music), Pandit Ravi Shankar is arguably the best-known Indian instrumentalist, and is well known for his pioneering work in bringing the power and appeal of the indian classical music tradition, as well as indian music and its performers in general, to the West. This was done through his association with The Beatles as well as with his own personal charisma. His musical career spans over six decades and Shankar currently holds the Guinness Record for the longest international career.
He is the father of both Grammy award winning singer Norah Jones, and Anoushka Shankar, also a noted sitarist.

if you count the mistaggings, there are more plays for one beatles song with sitar (norwegian wood) then there are for the entirety of ravi shankar's music. sometimes last.fm disappoints me.

Had a chance to see him play in San Francisco on Oct 29th, 2009. Very humbling moment. It is so great to see him touring at 89, alongside his promising daughter Anoushka. His music can take you to a different place, as someone else said, can give a chance for you to leave your body while listening.
