SUMMARY:Performance:Shakti: 50th Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:Shakti: 50th Anniversary Tour\nFeat. John McLaughlin\, Zakir Hussain\, & Shankar Mahadevan\nwith very special guest Béla Fleck\n\nFollowing the Summer 2023 release of This Moment – their first new studio album in 46 years – revolutionary ensemble Shakti will continue to discover and explore the musical common ground bridging East and West on an exclusive US tour marking the 50th anniversary since their first concerts.\n\nBorn in the mid-1970s out of the deep artistic and spiritual connection bonding British guitarist John McLaughlin and Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain\, Shakti’s cross-cultural musical conversation dissolved boundaries with uncommon passion\, grace\, and dexterity\, awakening subsequent generations of musicians to the possibilities of new creative approaches in the process. The unprecedented transcontinental collaboration forged the template for what is often called “world music.” Together they honed an ecstatic new fusion\, blazing uncharted pathways and demonstrating the potential of such global composites to generations of musicians and fans around the world.\n\nAlongside McLaughlin and Hussain\, today’s Shakti features vocalist Shankar Mahadevan\, violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan\, and percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram (son of original Shakti ghatam player T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram). Joining Shakti will be another performer dedicated to intermingling and transcending genres: banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck\, who will open the performances with a solo set.
