Secrets of Sitar

Hello Friends and Fans,

Here is an interesting radio interview that I did while back.  We talk about everything from classical sitar, to the Beatles, to the physics of light and sound and the concept of  “seeing” in multiple octaves.  Enjoy!

Spanish Guitar Meets Sitar

Hello Friends and Fans!

In 2009 I produced a really cool song for a Bengali vocalist named Zafreen.  I have uploaded the instrumental version of the track for your listening pleasure.  It is a haunting mixture of Spanish guitar, sitar and flute.  Enjoy!


Classical Sitar Recital

Hello friends and fans,

This past weekend I had a chance to perform at a benefit concert to raise money for children in South Africa.  The evening was put on by the Sai Nilayam Spiritual Organization.  It was a great opportunity to play some Classical Sitar.  The following is a live video recording of our performance, enjoy!

Beatles’ Song – Live With Didgeridoo and Sitar

Hello friends and fans!

When I was in Australia this winter I had a chance to combine three of my musical passions: sitar, didgeridoo and a Beatles’ song.  In fact, if it wasn’t for George Harrison and his association with Ravi Shankar, most of us in the West would probably not even know what a sitar is.  I remember the first time I heard “Within You Without You” from the album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.  I was mesmerized and I was hooked.  It wasn’t long after this time that I found a teacher and began studying sitar.  The coolest thing of all was that my first sitar teacher, Shambhu Das Ji, had actually spent time teaching sitar to George Harrison while the Beatles were in Kashmir, India.  Such an amazing connection!  Here is my live version of the song- with the addition of didgeridoo.  Recorded live in Byron Bay, cheers!

Prosad & Band

Hello Friends and Fans!

Two weeks ago I had the great pleasure of performing at a private party for a good friend.  We put together a “heavy” band for the occasion:

Prosad- Sitar, Flute, Vocals, Didgeridoo
Santosh Naidu- Tabla and Percussion (who also plays with K-OS)
Craig Halliday- Drums (off-screen)
Bryant Didier- Bass

It was a great show and a whole lot of fun.  Special thanks to the guys for helping put on awesome show.
