Raga Rock

Raga rock is a fusion music genre that blends the psychedelic rock sound with the classical music traditions of the Indian subcontinent, notably featuring the use of raga—a melodic framework for improvisation. Developed during the 1960s counterculture era, the genre often incorporates traditional Indian instruments like the sitar, tabla, and tambura alongside guitars and western rhythms, resulting in a hypnotic, drone-infused sound. Artists in this genre like Ananda Shankar and The Dave Pike Set provide a cross-cultural soundscape, where East meets West in a harmonious blend of spirituality and psychedelic experimentation. The music creates an immersive experience, characterized by its meditative qualities and intricate melodies that invite listeners to embark on a sonic journey transcending cultural boundaries.
