I was a little concerned that at age 92 Ravi Shankar might have lost some coordination. But he was incredible. And his daughter Anoushka was as well. A mesmerizing night of music.
Magical! From start to finish, a show to remember always.
What an amazing performance. At age 92, Ravi Shankar performed beside her daughter Anousha Shankar and it was such an honor being in their presence.
I enjoyed the music and Ravi Shankar. This is the first time I saw him in concert. He is a blessing from God.
It was a very wonderful show, but my husband and I truly missed his daughter's presents at the event. We came all the way from LA to see her. We heard she got sick and that is why she did not perform. Blessings and prayers for a speedy recovery. We love your music so much, Anoushka. We wished that they would of announced why you were not there. Thank you for a wonderful evening of cultural and music. Peace and Love, Shungi and Family
Anoushka Shankar was a no show and she was the headliner for the first half. Tthings happen of course, but they pretty much canceled the first half of the concert. One song with the flu and drummer, then the intermission. I would assume they could have a back-up sitarist ? Can't some the of the others play a couple of songs as give us a first-half ??. The second half was good. Ravi Shankar did perform. He a great job as expected. All in all, it gets an average review overall, since they had no plan for the first half. The second half was memorable.
It may have been because Anoushka Shankar was ill and didn't perform as billed, but the the first set was only a flute and drum combo that lasted about 10-15 min. and then a 20 intermission was called. Where was Ravi that 1st set? Anyway, Ravi made up for lost time, played a beautiful and transcendant hour and 1/2.
In a sentence... A WHOLE BOTTLE OF CHIVAS COULDN'T GET ME AS HIGH AS HIS MUSIC !!!
Ravi Shankar and his musicians were mind-blowing. The Arlington venue was superb (indoors but set to emulate an outdoor village stage with an open night sky above.) To anyone who thinks Ravi Shankar is dead, hear this geriatric play. He's still got it. The throatist was phenomenal as well. I nearly cried when it was announced that Anoushka Shankar was ill and would not perform, as she is the most beautiful human being on the planet, but the concert was so powerful as it was that it was not a problem. The one negative, ridiculous aspect was the audience, or at least what the Arlington permitted the audience to do, which was constantly filter in late and bumble about while these legendary musicians were playing their hearts out--and get this--eating and splurching on Icees and popcorns! What stupid Americans are we, that we go to a Ravi Shankar concert and order supersize popcorn and Big Gulps. Wow, right? This aside, bottom line, MIND-BLOWING. Highly recommended that you catch Ravi before he is too old to continue performing.
