Ravi Shankar: The Concert for World Peace - Live at Royal Albert Hall

Recalling George Harrison with his 1972 Concert for Bangladesh, master sitar player Ravi Shankhar (a key contributor to that earlier effort) mounted his 1993 'Concert For World Peace' in protest of global armed conflict, at London's famed Royal Albert Hall. The home video issue presents 92 minutes of live footage from the original performance set, with Shankhar joined by fellow world musicians Sarodist Partho Sarathy and Zakir Hussain. As an added bonus, the program features a short documentary on Ravi Shankhar, plus interviews with Ravi, his daughter Anoushka Shankhar, his sister-in-law Lakshmi Shankhar, Zakir Hussain and avant-garde composer Philip Glass.
