Indian Sun is a book about The Life and Music of Ravi Shankar.
The clear biography of Ravi Shankar, one of the most influential musicians and composers of the 20th century, is told in collaboration with his family, family and friends.
He is a groundbreaking performer and composer of Indian classical music who has brought India’s rich music and culture to the world’s leading concert halls and festivals, drawing map for those who follow in his footsteps. Shankar reshaped the music scene of the 1960s through pop, jazz and classical music, and composed unforgettable soundtracks for films like Pather Panchali and Gandhi.

Writer Oliver Craske presents the first full portrait of this legendary figure. A musician’s personal and professional story has influenced – and continues to influence – countless artists. Craske paints a vivid picture of a passionate, restless workaholic – from a lonely and traumatic childhood in Varanasi to becoming a young star in his brother’s dance troupe, from the in-depth study of the sitar to the revival of Indian country music.

Shankar’s musical influence spans both genres and generations, and he has developed close friendships with John Coltrane, Philip Glass, Yehudi Menuhin, George Harrison and Benjamin Britten, among many others.
