Fun fact : after Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire on stage... Ravi Shankar was so appalled that he refused to perform on stage that day ( Because in our culture the instruments are respected a lot ).... That's why the organisers kept a diff day for him...

One information nugget. With love and respect we call the accomplished musicians Ustad or Pandit. Ustad is Urdu word mean expert, highly skilled. Same is meaning of Pandit which is Sanskrit word. Both words also mean Guru.... the teacher or accomplished one. So the Muslim musicians are honoured with title Ustad and Hindu ones with Pandit. Different words, same love and respect ...

And in Sikhi, Male Raagis are honoured with the title Bhai and female Raagis with the title Bibi.

Wow, I had never heard him at Monterey. It was amazing seeing Ustad Allah Rakha in his younger days, a first for me. I heard him live a few years before he passed away and he was just as awesome. I still remember the time when he formally introduced Zakir to the classical stage as a young prodigy. Legend has it that to create a prodigy, Zakir's father used to drum on his mom's tummy when she was expecting him. I believe in those 9 months, Zakir learnt all the basics of tabla while still in the womb :)
