Sitar Groovers Guide

Sitar Groovers are a strange thing, there is no one scene or genre creating them, instead they pop up as the odd track on a Rock LP, Soundtrack, Lounge LP or anywhere really.
During the Sixties when George Harrison famously linked up with Ravi Shankar and introduced pop music to the sitar. Companies tried to cash-in. These LPs are known nowadays as Sitarsploitation. Records by numbers made for all the wrong reasons, but sometimes these turn up gems.
At its best a sitar groover will have funky drums, Moogs, Hammond organs, bongos, tablas and above all a groove underpinning the beautiful sound of the sitar.
