In this first episode, Anoushka Shankar takes us on a journey through the music of north India or Hindustani classical music.

In the first of this three-part series, Anoushka Shankar explains what 'classical' means in the context of Indian classical music and explores the music of north India, or 'Hindustani classical music', and how it differs from its southern or 'Carnatic' counterpart. She helps us to understand the importance of raga (melody) and taal (rhythmic cycles) in the music, and the role her father, Ravi Shankar, had in creating the forms we know today.

Steeped in the traditions of the music, and a sitarist herself, Anoushka Shankar is our guide to the stories, theories and recordings of Indian classical music and what makes it so rich.
