Very sad news today: one of the titans of Hindustani classical music, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, passed away yesterday at age 88. Information about Khansahib's memorial service and burial is available at the website of his wonderful school, the Ali Akbar Khan College of Music.
If you'd like to learn a bit more about this giant, there's a little introduction to his life and music that I wrote for National Geographic Music, which includes some recommendations for further listening.
