آوای دره

Call of the Valley is a concept album by three Indian musicians then about thirty years old: Shivkumar Sharma on santoor, Hariprasad Chaurasia on bansuri flute and Brij Bhushan Kabra on slide guitar, with Manikrao Popatkar on tabla, recorded in Bombay for the Gramophone Company of India (His Master's Voice), with G.N. Joshi as uncredited producer. Conceived as a suite, it follows a day in the life of a shepherd in Kashmir through ragas linked to different times of day, from Ahir Bhairav and Nat Bhairav to Pilu, Bhoop, Des and a Pahadi based on a folk song. It is described as the best-selling Indian classical album; it brought Hindustani music to new listeners around the world, made its three soloists famous and helped establish the santoor as a concert instrument in that tradition. Note on sources: Wikipedia's album article and the Saregama edition on Deezer date the album 1968, while Ken Hunt, TNT-Audio and other sources give 1967.
