Sitar, a complicated phantom
There are few instruments that have yet to fully adapt to western music. One such outsider who happily remains entrenched in eastern music is the Sitar. You would think an instrument with so many strings and such a unique sound would have been amplified distorted and rocked out hard via American pop culture. Yet aside from a few beatlesque appearances is seems to stay close to its humble beginnings. It ads spice to the music of India with maturity and flash all at the same time. And it could best be described as a the backdrop of everything cool that might happen to you were you to dream about dancing in a far off oasis.
