The fantastic track "Shringar" is taken from the DVD "Remember Shakti - the way of beauty" (presented by Universal Music Jazz France), from the live concert in Bombay in Dec, 8th and 9th 2000, called "Saturday Night in Bombay". This is part 2. Listen and enjoy it.

"..The indo-western music group Shakti, formed in 1975, pioneered a groundbreaking and highly influential musical East-meets-West approach. In the 70s, the group, whose name means creative intellingce, beauty and power, consisted of legendary Britih jazz guitarist John McLaughlin, North Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain and violinst L. Shankar and ghatam (percussion) player T.H. "Vikku" Vinayakram, both of whom hail from South India. Together, they created a fluid and organic sound that managed to successfully combine seemingly incompatible traditions. After a number of very successfull live concerts and albums they disbanded.
The group was reformed in 1977 under the name "Remember Shakti" with new talents from India like V. Selvaganesh who replaced this father "Vikku" and the young prodigy "Mondolin" U. Shrinivas who replaced L. Shankar. In 2000, the young Indian Classical singer Shankar Mahadevan joined the group as the first vocal element in the group..." (taken from the DVD cover)

** Note: This is PART 2
I had to cut the track in two pieces because of Youtube restrictions. To get only two parts (clips) I had also to remove the first 0:00-4:50 min of the track. I am sorry. The original length of the track "Shringar" is 26:50 min.
