and his music

This genre-busting 1975 album seamlessly fuses the traditional music of Ananda Shankar s homeland, India, with the heavy psych-funk of the West, where he had spent a good deal of time. Featuring the dancefloor killers Streets Of Calcutta and Dancing Drums alongside a handful of mellower tracks, the original, India-only LP has long been one of the worlds most sought-after records.

Track listing:

• Streets Of Calcutta
• Cyrus
• The Lonely Rider
• The River
• Vidai (Parting)
• Back Home
• Dawn
• Renunciation
