George has been very special. George is like my son and friend all combined together - and student as well. I love him very much and he is truly interested in Indian music and Indian philosophy and he has a wonderful soul.

Ravi Shankar is probably the person who has influenced my life the most. Later I realized Indian music was like a stepping-stone to the spiritual path. I always had a feeling for that and the music led me there.
The George Harrison Estate is happy to announce HariSongs, created to release music from George’s archive of Indian Classical music and his collaborations with the finest exponents of that music.
