Ananda Shankar - Sa Re Ga Machan

jperrault

Review by Jean-François Perrault

Sa Re Ga Machan is an incredible album by the late Ananda Shankar, a legendary Indian musician known for his fusion of traditional Indian music with Western rock and jazz. The album, released in 1977, showcases Shankar's unique style and virtuosity on the sitar, accompanied by a talented group of musicians on drums, bass, guitar, and keyboards.

The opening track, "Streets of Calcutta," sets the tone for the album with its energetic and upbeat rhythm, blending Indian classical music with funk and rock. The album also features several covers of popular songs, including "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones and "Light My Fire" by The Doors, which Shankar masterfully adapts to his sitar and the Indian musical tradition.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dancing Drums," a dynamic and hypnotic piece that showcases Shankar's incredible skill on the sitar, accompanied by a pulsating rhythm section that keeps the groove going throughout the song. Another highlight is "Snow Flower," a beautiful and haunting ballad that showcases Shankar's more contemplative and meditative side.

  • This genre-busting classic seamlessly fuses the traditional music of Ananda Shankar's homeland, India, with the heavy psych-funk of the West, where he'd spent time. Featuring break-laden killers such as Charging Tiger and Jungle King, mellower tracks including the beautiful Dancing Peacocks and the epic Jungle Symphony, the original, India-only LP has long been one of the continent's most sought-after records. It is presented here complete with biographical liner notes and four ultra-rare bonus tracks from the 1978 India Remembers Elvis EP, issued to commemorate the the death of Elvis Presley.
