INTRO: As we stream into the 21st century, the rich legacy of
Indian music continues to expand around the world.

Seen as a kind of exotic 'seasoning' when classical masters like
ALI AKBAR KHAN and RAVI SHANKAR came to the west in the
1950s, it survived its trendy status as a psychedelic curiosity in
the 1960s, and has gone on to influence several generations of
western musicians, from avant-garde and electronic, to devotional.

In an age of rapid innovation and stylistic change, Indian music
has proven to be amazingly durable due to its profound insight
into tone and rhythm...and use of the drone — a gravitational
center that keeps some of the world's best musicians in its orbit.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another journey in the
Indian music orbit called PLANET INDIA.
