Know any good Tabla and Sitar music?

Alstroph	Date: February 8, 2006 @ 4:42 PM Or good East Indian music in general? I'm having trouble finding some.
tooles	Date: February 8, 2006 @ 5:50 PM Anything by Ravi Shankar is guaranteed good sitar music. I saw him live this summer, he was pretty amazing for being 80. The drawback to Ravi is that all of his songs tend to be 20 minute long plunky-bouncy journeys that start slow and end quick. If you're in the right mood it's great, but if not it gets old. 'The Edges of Twilight' album by The Tea Party would be my recommendation, although I'm not sure how easy it would be to find it in the states, so just try downloading the songs "Sister Awake" and "Innanna". Lots of cool instruments--sitar, saz, all kinds of goblet drums.
PrincessTast...	Date: February 8, 2006 @ 8:57 PM I'd say Ravi Shankar or D.M. Zagar (i think that's his name)
zedsalt	Date: February 9, 2006 @ 1:20 PM Ustad Ali Akbar Khan's "The Forty Minute Raga" (his version of Raga Marwa) is p.d. entertaining. "Bengali Bauls- Live at Big Pink" "Saurang Orchestra"- Surinder Sadhu Shankar and the Epidemics (different Shankar, Ravi's daughter, Anoshka, is really talented, too) You could get a lot of good ideas from Realworld's samplers, especially East-meets-West kinda stuff. Water Lily Acoustics (label) is nothin' but said stuff. "Bourbon and Rosewater" is a good place to start. Man, there's just SO much...
Veracohr	Date: February 9, 2006 @ 1:33 PM This may not be quite what you're looking for, but there's a very good album called "Ground Zero" that has very Indian-influenced breakbeat/downtempo music. It's pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004X0PU/qid=1139509453/sr=8-1/ref=__1/104-9224450-8117538?s=music&v=glance&n=5174
tooles	Date: February 9, 2006 @ 1:44 PM Yeah, Anoshka might even be better than her father. She played with Ravi at the concert I saw, and he introduced her as the 'finest sitar player in the world.' Still, his less famous daughter by anyone's count.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norah_Jones

tooles	Date: February 9, 2006 @ 1:47 PM And yeah, Ali Akbar Khan is pretty damn good, esp. sarod.
Bhairava	Date: February 9, 2006 @ 3:31 PM I've grown up on it man pretty much. Um I just listened to what my parents had usually compilations. Check out some modified guitar sitars they are awesome. I don't know names specifically as I mainly have compilations. I mean its all good just type in a search for awesome sitar players and they are usually accompanied by awesome tabla players too. Theres loads of just sitar and tabla stuff with a veena going in the background around.
zedsalt	Date: February 10, 2006 @ 11:25 AM Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's a good one for converted guitar.
jinx215	Date: February 10, 2006 @ 5:42 PM Zakir Hussain is the master of all styles of Tabla. He has some good east meets west crossover stuff too
zedsalt	Date: February 11, 2006 @ 11:12 AM various artists: "Dead Man Walking-the Score" (NOT the soundtrack) "Passion- the Sources"
FebruaryBattles	Date: February 11, 2006 @ 11:21 AM bhangara all day.. lmao... nothing like remixed ra and pop songs w00t
Bhairava	Date: February 11, 2006 @ 12:41 PM Bhangra is kind of cool. I think it gets annoying after a while man.
