Does anyone know who this famous sitar player is? And would you like to hear him play in Pattaya?

According to Google, he is Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan.

Don't understand why you should ask. You know who he is, or you would not have posted his picture. Marketing degrees are so cheap these days.

Excellant; I have found an excuse to post this most sublime performance...

No, I wouldn't... Not my cup of tea.

Then you should have just said so. And in answer to your second question, yes I would. Some bhangra music would be nice as well.

She definitely has her fathers genes and talent as does her sister, Norah Jones.

There's a guy in Phuket who plays too ,if he's not dead yet!

I prefer Ravi Shankar, watch Concert for Bangladesh on You Tube to see him !

It really isn't everyone's cup of tea, I saw George Harrison's "DARK HORSE" Tour and Ravi opened for him on this tour also , the audience applauded and Ravi thanked them for enjoying their tuning of the instruments and hoped they would enjoy the music too !

Anoushka is just amazing.

Sorry, mate but is it possible to hijack one's own thread?

And can we presume that, because none of you has heard of this musical giant, 'no one is interested'? That would be a victory for obscurantism and a sad case of pearls before swine.

For those who are interested in arguably the greatest living sitar player, may I refer you to this article:
