Ravi Shankar’s classical performances were instrumental in introducing Western audiences to the brilliance and intricacies of Indian classical music, writes Taylor Ho Bynum.

 Ravi Shankar, Open Mind
The picture of Shankar performing at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival is one of the iconic images of the nineteen-sixties. On the same stage where Jimi Hendrix burnt his guitar and The Who trashed their instruments, Shankar sat cross-legged behind his sitar, calm and focussed, engaging in musical dialogues of thrilling virtuosity with his tabla player, Alla Rakha, in front of tens of thousands of stunned hippies. However, while he always appreciated the chance to bring his music to wider audiences, Shankar later decried the drug use and shallow engagement the pop audiences took with the centuries-old Indian classical traditions. He was a popularizer but never a compromiser; though his work was often controversial among his more traditional peers, he always distinguished between his collaborative experiments and the purity of his classical performances.
