Ram Narayan

Ram Narayan made the sarangi a major solo concert instrument in Hindustani classical music. The musician from India moved the instrument beyond its older role as vocal accompaniment, giving it a repertory of long alap, raga development, and expressive bowing. His tag connects the sarangi, Indian classical music, and the modern history of instrumental authority.
