Ravi Shankar & Ali Akbar Khan in concert 1972


In memory of Baba Allauddin Khan within months of his grand departure to the Gandharvalok. This was once in a lifetime performance for it was in memory of the master who had brought them (Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan) both up into musical maturity from early innocence in the art.

The weeping sarod and the weeping sitar. Baba from Gandharvalok listens with tears in his eyes. This concert was within months of Baba's ascension to the other world. A tribute, a memorial, a final pranam at his feet.
