Born in India in 1920, Ravi Shankar is considered the world's best-known Indian musician and has been performing since the 1940s. By the 1960s he had brought the sitar to international attention through his work with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and his association with Beatle George Harrison. After studying with Shankar, Harrison played the sitar on "Norwegian Wood," initiating the raga rock genre. Shankar played at the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. A three-time Grammy Award winner, his daughter Norah Jones has won eight Grammys of her own.
