Ravi Shankar

Ravi Shankar trained for years in the guru-shishya tradition under Allauddin Khan of the Maihar gharana before becoming the best-known Indian classical musician in the world. His work with George Harrison and at Monterey and Woodstock made the sitar famous, but his deeper legacy is teaching: he founded music schools in Mumbai and Los Angeles and passed the tradition to students including his daughter Anoushka. He died in 2012.
