Настоящее имя: Shanti (5)
Об исполнителе:
US ensemble featuring american and indian musicians that released a sole album in 1971 on Atlantic Records. Shanti (from the Sanskrit for “inner peace”) formed around late 1970 in the San Francisco-area. After signing to Atlantic they recorded the self-titled album in September 1971 at Pacific High Recording in San Francisco. Their music ia an amalgam of psychedelia, jazz and Indian sound. Dropped out by Atlantic the band turned to Apple Records where was auditioned on an invitation from George Harrison but Ravi Shankar supposedly convinced him not to sign them. It seems that he was against any kind of contamination between Western and Indian music because that would have distorted the last one. Following the refusal of Apple Records the band disbanded.
