Brij Bhushan Kabra was one of the Indian musicians who heard the steel's siren call, but his vision went beyond adapting Hawaiian sounds to popular music. Instead, he saw the instrument's potential for playing ragas. To pursue this dream, Kabra began studying with Ali Akbar Khan, whose fretless sarod offered a sonic example for Kabra to emulate with his lap-slide guitar. Kabra's instrument was a Gibson Super 400, modified with a drone string and a high nut to raise the strings off the fretboard like a lap steel. Seated on the floor in the traditional style of Indian musicians, Kabra played his guitar horizontally, using a fingerstyle plucking technique and a bar to contact the strings. His approach set the standard for virtually all Indian slide guitarists.
In 1967, Kabra recorded a groundbreaking album, Call of the Valley. Also featuring Shivkumar Sharma on santoor, an ancient hammered dulcimer, and Hariprasad Chaurasia playing a bamboo transverse flute called the bansuri, the album was a hit not only in India, but also with the Woodstock generation who was discovering Hindustani music through sitarist Ravi Shankar. Perhaps the first studio recording of Hindustani slide guitar, Call of the Valley is essential listening for anyone exploring this music. Next Kabra released Two Raga Moods on Guitar, and though now out of print, this LP confirmed his status as the father of the genre.................'THE SECRET WORLD OF HINDUSTANI SLIDE' article by Andy Ellis in PREMIER GUITAR MAGAZINE.

Master peace. One day man will be Man if you Alive with Every One❤️
गिटार पर राग देस का ऐसा अप्रतिम वादन! साधु साधु ।शास्त्रीयता के संपूर्ण निबाह के साथ राग देस के मार्मिक मिजाज की बेहतरीन प्रस्तुति। तबला संगत भी उतनी ही उम्दा।
इस दुर्लभतम प्रस्तुति के लिए दोनों मनीषियों को प्रणाम।
Waah 👌
No one, in my opinion, played as fine an "Uthan" as Shankar Ghosh! And when he lands that final sam, after several cycles of exposition, he then settles into the humblest of Thekas. What a genius!
Made me think it was a banaras player
yet another facet to this most beautiful raaga
WORLD MUSE WONDERFUL.
What a great Desh.
bahut barhiyaa!!!! jai hind!!!!
