The Sound of Sitar

"The Sound of Sitar" brings together a wide-ranging blend of traditional ragas, contemporary Indian classical fusions, and atmospheric sitar pieces from some of the instrument's most respected names. From the spacious collaboration between Anoushka Shankar and Nils Frahm on “Daydreaming” to the electrified stylings of Niladri Kumar’s “Liplocked,” this playlist moves easily between meditative alap stretches and more energetic, tabla-driven drut compositions.

Classic performances by legends like Vilayat Khan, Ravi Shankar, and Nikhil Banerjee sit alongside modern interpretations by younger artists like Purbayan Chatterjee and Roopa Panesar. With deep cuts spanning styles and gharanas, "The Sound of Sitar" offers a cross-generational snapshot of the instrument’s tone and versatility, equally suited for deep listening or background atmosphere.
