I’ve always liked the sound of the Sitar…and although I don’t really listen to much traditional Indian music, when I hear it I enjoy. The Sitar originates in the Indian subcontinent and is an instrument of the lute family of stringed instruments, in particular it’s an essential component of the classical and traditional music of Northern India, Bangladesh & Pakistan….this is a typical example of sitar music which I really like….

It’s not a competition…..but of course Anoushka has certainly inherited the virtuoso musical skills of playing the sitar from her father. However, it was that particular tune I really liked, and was why I posted it.. I’m sure there are scores of great exponents of the sitar who are less well known to us too…all over the subcontinent.
Beautiful sound!
