Paris: Sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar decided the show must go in France on Sunday despite two of his instruments being broken during a flight from Lebanon.

New instruments arrived from India ready for the concert in Arles, in the south of France.

"His instrument-maker arrived from India with two sitars, therefore he will be able to give his concert this evening with his daughter," said Corrine Falaschi, head of communications at the World Music festival in Arles. (full story)

I wish we could get his music here.......it's awesome. Sheeesh, he's 85 and still going strong! Great that his daughter is following in his footsteps too.

Beach, is there anywhere on the web that we can download freebies, or is that just wishful thinking?

Anoushka looks a lot like Norah Jones.
