George Harrison (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001)was a musician, singer-songwriter, and film producer. He is best known for being the lead guitarist of the Beatles. He would often be referred to as the “ quiet Beatle.” Various blues and early rock and roll artists heavily influenced Harrison and the rest of the Beatles. But, after some time in India, Harrison was influenced and embraced Indian music, culture, and religion, which helped broaden the scope of the band’s music. Harrison also contributed to songwriting for the band. The songs he wrote include “ Taxman,” While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and one of my favorites, “ Here Comes the Sun.”He was one of the first members of the groups looking to work on his music and branch out to new and different sounds. He briefly left the group while recording the album Let I Be. but he came after much convincing from the other three. After the Beatles parted ways, Harrison released several best-selling singles and albums. In 1971, he helped organize a Concert for Bangladesh with the help of Indian musician and mentor Ravi Shankar. He was a producer assisting many artists on the Beatles’ record label Apple. He co-founded the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. 1988. He collaborated with several artists, including his former bandmates Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, and Tom Petty, most notably Ravi Shankar. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame once as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and posthumously for his solo career in 2004; he is ranked 11th on Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 greatest guitarists. Harrison also served as a music and film producer. He founded Dark Horse Records in 1974 and co-founded HandMade Films In 1978. He even appeared as himself on one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons. Harrison is still a significant influence on many artists. He was one of the unique Beatles.

"इश्क़ भी तू मेरा प्यार भी तू

मेरी बात जात जज्बात भी तू

मेरा काज राज और मिजाज भी तू"

Shakti - Mohanam - John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain & co. reunite for first new Shakti studio album since 1977, this being the advance single

Born of an immense degree of both soul-searching and woodshedding, Shakti emerged in the early 1970s – shattering the barriers between Eastern and Western music with an ecstatic, soulful hybrid that knowingly embodied both traditions while setting out for uncharted musical terrain. Shakti’s catalyst was the meeting of guitarist and composer John McLaughlin and tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain. Both had already achieved a certain degree of notoriety in their musical domains. John, through his association with Miles Davis and his immensely successful group The Mahavishnu Orchestra: Zakir through his amazing classical work and his collaborations with the California music scene. Hussain and McLaughlin had become friends in 1969 and met musically one evening at the house of the late great Ali Akbar Khan. To quote McLaughlin, “It was a revelation playing with Zakir”. McLaughlin subsequently began studying the Vina with Dr. S. Ramanathan and through him met with Dr. L. Shankar himself a head at the South Indian Music department at Wesleyan University and by 1973 had brought Zakir, violinist L. Shankar and the head of the percussion department Ramnad Raghavan playing the mridangamfor the very first time. It was at once, a marriage of the tonal and rhythmic intricacies of classical Indian music with the immediacy and soul of Jazz. This first formation of Shakti recorded its first live recording in 1975 and released in 1976. Their unprecedented music awakened subsequent generations to the rich, untapped potential of such pan-cultural fusions and helped to create what is now known as “World Music.” While the initial lineup of Shakti disbanded in 1978, Hussain and McLaughlin have periodically resurrected the Shakti group for live performances and concert recordings – but have not released a new studio album since 1977’s Natural Elements…until now. “Mohanam” – available for streaming/download – is the first new studio music from Shakti in more than 45 years. Drawn from the upcoming album This Moment (to be released on CD and vinyl in the summer of 2023 by Abstract Logix), the track glimmers with optimism and wonder as it moves with unhurried grace through a series of instrumental movements that acknowledge Shakti’s formidable legacy while proposing new routes. “‘Mohanam’ is a joyful piece,” explains McLaughlin, “and joy is the inherent nature of the Shakti group.” The lineup featured on “Mohanam” – McLaughlin (guitar) and Hussain (tabla) are featured alongside vocalist Shankar Mahadevan, violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan, and percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram (son of original Shakti ghatam player T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram). On “Mohanam,” Hussain and Vinayakram are also featured on konokol – a traditional and demanding form of Indian vocal percussion.
