In India, when two vocalists join forces, or when two instrumentalists perform together, either on the same or different instruments, the joint venture is called Jugalbundi (the Hindi word for duet). These duets began mainly through students. Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan were both students of the legendary Baba Allauddin Khan, a Bengali Indian sarod player and multi-instrumentalist and one of the greatest music teachers of the 20th Century, father of Ali Akbar Khan and Annapurna Devi and guru to Ravi Shankar, Nikhil Banerjee, Vasant Rai, Pannalal Ghosh, and other influential musicians. He himself was a disciple of many great musicians, most importantly the legendary Wazir Khan. This concert was dedicated to the memory of the Baba. Many thanks to my friend Stefen for lending me this great double-LP!
