Mondavi Center opens with Shakti 50th Anniversary Tour next week

Sept. 8, 2023, 7:30 p.m., Jackson Hall, Mondavi Center 

Shakti was a band formed to combine Eastern and Western music. They ended up forging the way for modern 鈥渨orld music.鈥 With Zakir Hussain, violinist Shankar Mahadevan, and ghatam player T.H. 鈥淰ikku鈥 Vinayakram,  John McLaughlin founded Shakti. 鈥淔or me,鈥 McLaughlin reflects in a short story on the Mondavi website, 鈥渋t was an imperative that Shakti become my permanent group after the Mahavishnu Orchestra.鈥 Together they honed an ecstatic new fusion, blazing uncharted pathways and demonstrating the potential of such global composites to generations of musicians around the world.

Now McLaughlin and Hussain are preparing to resume their journey 鈥 joined by percussionist V. Selvaganesh (T.H. Vinayakram鈥檚 son), vocalist Mahadevan, and violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan 鈥 for an album of new compositions and a world tour marking Shakti鈥檚 50th anniversary. Today鈥檚 Shakti honors the legacy of the original band by acknowledging their tradition while continuing to push beyond existing boundaries into new musical landscapes. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really a thrill,鈥 McLaughlin says of Shakti鈥檚 50th anniversary plans. 鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to be part of this marvelous tradition of the Shakti group.鈥
