Day 0111 - The Sounds of India

Ravi Shankar "The Sounds of India" (1968)



This is pretty great.  It's not something that you can necessarily put on and hum along to (you could maybe hum some random countermelody to complement the sitar noodlings) but a great bit of music that you can let sit in the background while you do other stuff, or focus on the music and get lost in the awesome musicianship and the kaleidoscoping runs of notes.

There is a bit of instructional dialogue on the methods and forms of raga, so it's kind of 'infotainment'.
