Diversity in music will possibly never be quite as diverse again, as the world mourns Indian musician Ravi Shankar. Ravi died on December 11 2012 after a respiratory illness. and recent surgery for heart issues.  A composer and Sitarist, he will probably remain best known to westerners as mentor and friend of Beatle, George Harrison.

Ravi appeared live for the last time with his daughter Anoushka in November 2012.

RIP Ravi
