I missed seeing the great man In Ahmedabad in 1993. He was sick and couldn't come. I regretted it so much I brought a tape (yes a tape) and played it in my car for ages. It got caught in the unforgiving mechanisms of a car stereo tape machine and was lost forever.
I didn't know much about his music at the time and just thought it was a Indian touristy kind of thing to do to buy a Ravi Shanka tape. But I could tell even though it sounded strange to my ears he was playing something that transcended. He found a way to do something I wish I could, mix virtuosity with something instinctive and reach further to a place that is on the edge. A place we don't all get to go.
So thanks for sharing your life with us Robindro Shaunkor Chowdhury. RIP
