Uploaded by EastMeetsWestMusic on Aug 16, 2010
Originally released in 1971, Raga: A Film Journey into the Soul of India documents the life of sitar master Ravi Shankar in the late 1960s and early 1970s, following him on his return to India to revisit his guru, Bengali multi-instrumentalist and composer, Baba Ustad Allauddin Khan. It further explores Shankar's life as a musician and teacher in the United States and Europe, initiating those in the West to the exceptional world that is Indian classical music and culture. Through rare and candid footage shot in both India and the United States, Raga sheds light on Shankar's influences and collaborations, from Allauddin Khan to his famed dancer brother Uday Shankar, to his associations with Western musicians Yehudi Menuhin and George Harrison. Fully narrated by Shankar himself, Raga reveals music as the soul of India and of Shankar's life. The premiere DVD release of Raga features a digitally re-mastered 35mm print optimized to modern color range resolution and standard and a fully re-mastered audio soundtrack.

Saw this back in the 70's. It was beautiful and memorizing. There was a vinyl record at the time (long lost) and I'm trying to find a possible CD. Amazon has a DVD of the film.

People thought "drugs!" when really it was just intense emotional connection with the beauty in the sound of music.

It is a great documentary produced and directed originally, in 1971 by Mr. Howard Worth. I have known Mr. Worth for some time and he is a true genius. He has been working for over a decade now, on a Life Saving Technology, that will save many lives worldwide.
Congratulations.
Never never never Give up....
