Ravi Shankar – Eastern Pedigree

Woodstock featured acts from all around, and people from different countries came to attend the musical event. Among them was Indian folk music legend Ravi Shankar, with his trance-like sound and authentic eastern feel. Shankar was a devout Hindu who wasn’t very happy with how his culture was appropriated.

He performed his music the way he felt Hindu music should be, in a very expressive and emotional way. Music is very closely tied to his religion, after all. The music pulled in the crowd as they silently sat back and watched him give one of the night’s most memorable performances.
