Ravi Shankar: Durga Suktam & Mahishasura Mardini Stotram

raviCOVER115x115.jpgToday, we celebrate Ravi Shankar's 90th birthday. Born into an orthodox Brahmin family, the classically trained sitar master has remained true to his roots while influencing many Western musicians, including The Beatles. Today's Top Tune, from the Nine Decades album, is an unusual piece. It's a devotional chant introduced by Ravi Shankar as he rehearses with temple priests for the filming of 'Raga,' a documentary film produced by George Harrison circa 1968. Today's Top Tune is "Durga Suktam & Durga Stotram".
