------
Ravi Shankar KBE, whose name is often preceded by the title
Pandit and "Sitar maestro", was an Indian musician and a composer
of Hindustani classical music. He was the best-known proponent of
the sitar in the second half of the 20th century and influenced
many other musicians throughout the world. Shankar was awarded
India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in
1999.Shankar was born to a Bengali Brahmin family in India, and
spent his youth as a dancer touring India and Europe with the
dance group of his brother Uday Shankar. He gave up dancing in
1938 to study sitar playing under court musician Allauddin Khan.
After finishing his studies in 1944, Shankar worked as a
composer, creating the music for the Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray,
and was music director of All India Radio, New Delhi, from 1949
to 1956.In 1956, Shankar began to tour Europe and the Americas
playing Indian classical music and increased its popularity there
in the 1960s through teaching, performance, and his association
with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and Beatles guitarist George
Harrison. His influence on the latter helped popularize the use
of Indian instruments in pop music in the latter half of the
1960s.
