Ravi Shankar is India's most esteemed musical Ambassador and a singular phenomenon in the classical music worlds of East and West. As a performer, composer, teacher and writer, he has done more for Indian music than any other musician. He is well known for his pioneering work in bringing Indian music to the West. He had a major influence on Western musicians like The Beatles.
A three-time Grammy award winner, Shankar last performed in California on November 4 along with his daughter Anoushka Shankar. He has also been nominated for the 2013 Grammys for his album "The Living Room Sessions Part-1" and was pitted against Anoushka in the same category.
