Pandit Ravi Shankar.🎼🎼🎼🎼

Happy Birthday Music Maestro .

Remembering the God-father of world music Pandit Ravi Shankar on his birth anniversary.

Ravi Shankar was awarded India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna in 1999 and received three Grammy Awards for his outstanding work.


Dubbed the "Godfather of world music" by George Harrison of the Beatles, Ravi Shankar was born in Varanasi on April 7, 1920.

He spent his youth touring Europe and India with the dance group of his brother Uday Shankar. He gave up dancing in 1938 to study sitar playing under court musician Allauddin Khan.



A performer, composer, teacher and writer, Shankar's pioneering work took Indian music to the West. After finishing his studies in 1944, Shankar worked as a composer, creating the music for the Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray and Richard Attenborough's Gandhi.

For the film Gandhi, he shared with George Fenton an Oscar for best original score in 1983. After working as music director of All India Radio, New Delhi, from 1949 to 1956, he made Indian classical music popular in the West in the 1960s through teaching, performance, and his association with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and George Harrison.


Pandit Ravi Shankar has became world-famous through his extraordinary skills in Indian classical music.
George Harrison of The Beatles visited India to study sitar under him. Ravi Shankar’s association with George Harrison extended his popularity throughout the world

George Harrison produced and participated in two record albums, Shankar Family and Friends and Festival of India, both composed by Ravi Shankar.



Shankar engaged Western music by writing concert for sitar and orchestra and toured the world in the 1970s and 1980s. From 1986 to 1992, he served as a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha.

He received three Grammy Awards. He was posthumously awarded two Grammy awards in 2013, one for lifetime achievement, another for The Living Room Sessions Part 1 in the world music category.

Even people who don’t know much about Indian classical music know the name Ravi Shankar ji .  Shankar ji was “one of the most important musicians of the 20th Century” not just because of the way he took Indian classical music out into the world, but in the way he presented it to India itself.



His life onstage began at an early age — but as a dancer. He travelled to France at age ten with his older brother's dance group, the Compagnie de Dans et Musique Hindou. Two years later the ensemble toured Europe and North America. 
For the youngest of the seven Shankar brothers, this was the perfect opportunity to not only gain dance experience, but to learn different Indian instruments and explore Western culture.

Greetings from: upscexperts@gmail.com  https://youtu.be/4Q_OmJaiaEc |Experts| |India| |ExpertsTalks| Today's GK question Date: 03-03-2022 Question: On which date did Graham Bell used phone for first time ? * Answer:* 10th March, 1876 Explanation: Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone made the first call on March 10, 1876, to his assistant, Thomas Watson: "Mr. Watson--come here--I want to see you." An Enthusiastic Story The Scottish-born Bell had a lifelong interest in the nature of sound. He was born into a family of speech instructors, and his mother and his wife both had hearing impairments. While ostensibly working in 1875 on a device to send multiple telegraph signals over the same wire by using harmonics, he heard a twang. That led him to investigate whether his electrical apparatus could be used to transmit the sound of a human voice. Bell's journal, now at the Library of Congress, contains the following entry for March 10, 1876: "I then shouted
