Скачать или смотреть Arjun Verma Sitar: 1980s Rikhi Ram

I was warming up for a recording session with a big beautiful sitar I haven't played for years...This amazing 1980s Rikhi Ram was commissioned by Ravi Shankar for my father, Roop Verma, and he lent it to me when I began studying with Ali Akbar Khan. It was the instrument I used during all my time with Ali Akbar Khan, and it feels like a dear old friend.

In the last year of my father's life, I had given it back to him, hoping he could once again enjoy some time with his prized sitar, but alas, by that time he didn't feel well enough to even play it. At least now I have an opportunity to do it (and him) some justice, by recording this very special album with it.
