A Meeting by the River-is one of the most striking cross-cultural works of the 1990s which brought Grammy Awards for Best World Music Album to renowned guitarists Ry Cooder & Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. The four-track album was recorded as improvisation since both musicians had first met just an hour before the recording session. The idea of joining two musical traditions through a slide technique belonged to Ry Cooder who was very impressed to hear the Indian classical repertoire performed by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt on the Mohan veena-a unique instrument of his own design.~~~
Most of the comments below mention only Cooder, as if Vishwa Mohan Bhatt were some session sideman. He's not, he's a master in a tradition of Indian Guitar little known in the west. I've been a fan of Cooder for 30+ years, but this is a COLABORATION between TWO great guitarists.
Two children of God speaking in the language of God. Makes the hairs on my arms rise up and cheer! Mr Bhatt is the one a bit out of his harmonic element. I think his playing is stupendous. Blissful. He is a great artist! I love him very much. Ry? Ry is Ry -- always!
Funny how rivers flow through different lands and can still lead to the same Delta Blues soul. We all have that ancient link to the water and the earth and those soft, moist, places where they become one. Rotting and growing from the decay, the saltwater and freshwater mixing with the tides, the trade winds and all that concentrated life, death, danger and peacefulness meeting in one place of beauty. Hiding wonders that can enthrall you. Like this gem I discovered by accident in this swampland known as TH-cam. Where so many ideas, people, songs and tunes meet from across this planet. A great delta at the end of innumerable rivers. Another gem for my collection. A serendipitous event for us all.
Hare Krishna Keith....what a cool comment. Peace on earth through transcendental sound vibration that has no race, gender, or age or any other bodily designation. 💙🎵🕊️🎵💙
It's wonderful to hear Ry Cooder and Vishwa Mohan trade energies with such feeling and conviction. I believe that there is universal ambiance behind great music and this collaboration transcends genres....
I was born a white man by chance. I thank all my African American brothers who have been writing and singing the blues for so long now. Many times, in the most distressed moments of my life, I felt there was nothing like such great music to listen to my heart and soul's pain, and soothe me to keep going no matter what. My life owes so much to such great music.
I like blues too. But it's the last thing I would listen to, to lift me out of my sorrow and pain. Blues music does nothing to soothe me. It only substantiates my pain.
Not sure if you have heard Ali Farka Toure (Western Africa), he did an album with Ry Cooder that is very good. th-cam.com/video/g0iaTsSHuWY/w-d-xo.html
That is an amazing album, and both the full album & (I think) all the individual tracks are right here at YT. Mesmerizing work; genius times two, or maybe genius squared. Higher-res copy (it makes a huge difference, really) here: th-cam.com/video/1XUloEaR1RM/w-d-xo.html
So long as the language is music, there is NO language difference, no communication problem, between these two masters and the rhythm section. It is all wonderful. Truly, humanly WONDERFUL! Lol the Ganges Delta Blues -- who knew : ) The essence of our universe loves these folks I think. I do too!

Add a few more cents for an ice cream cone. I still wonder if I was wrong for not grabbing an old Who album, but you chose well. Now, look for Anoushca Shankar (sp).
Say it VJ. He's a pretty funny guy isn't he?. First time I saw Ry was 1974 at the Bottom Line and that was an interesting show (for those who know of this night). I've seen him do the 'Jazz' project as well as 'Buena Vista (the only US show at Carnegie). In between? Chicken Skin band (with Flaco & the Pahuinis) a couple of times at Princeton U., Bop Till You Drop (w/John Hiatt) shows/tour , a Jazz/Blues show one night in NYC with Joe Louis Walker. I remember the Ali Farka show which was cancelled in NYC at the last minute due to war in his home country. Or of late with Ricky Skaggs and the Family Band where bluegrass and gospel was beautifully done. LuRN.

Uh huh!! . . I remember buyin 'and listenin' to that Ry Cooder album that has the song "L'il Sister Don't You Do What Your Big Sister Done" on it (is that the name of It, lol- I know you know which one I mean!?) back in the late '70s in Charlotte, North Carolina when I lived on East 7th Street near Central Piedmont Community College . . I believe he IS a national American treasure, y'all!! . .
What a beautiful and mesmerizing collaboration! Ry Cooder and VM Bhatt are such supreme masters of their craft that the music, despite the tremendous differences, never seems labored or strained, just joyous, and like the meeting by the river, just runs with a spiritual flow.. lovely.
Sunday morning coming down, eating breakfast, getting ready for church, talk about a God moment! Music is about half of my life, my main companions are a Irish Bouzouki and a Tenor Guitar with several other toys that I play at playing. I long ago unplugged my T.V, and now just use You Tube for everything, new, info, movies, weather and of course MUSIC. I'm 78 Yrs old and waiting for the next big thing to help keep me happy until my pine box arrives. In N.M. where I live you can be buried in a cardboard box, (still legal) and in your backyard if you own it! Kind of like a 3rd - world country and that's why I moved here many years ago, blessings world.
@@imleksutra933 You must not have been listening very closely. Or perhaps you had a headache. Or perhaps you were invited to a kitchen once and didn't like what you found. Nevertheless, the echoes are there.
Panditji, I have heard you live and I am a great fan of yours. For me you are the very embodiment of music. You are a true example of having become music. Just love everything you perform. May you live forever in the human hearts.
What a wonderful photograph. That instrument, the musician. Wow. Still listening to the music. Like that Ry Cooder experiments. He's not too smug to all the fabulous magical music being played n created out there. 👍
I was captivated by the charming music first time I heard A Meeting By The River album; thank you Eileen sis-in-law for the CD. I found the inter-play between two such different guitars amazingly beautiful - Visma Mohan Bhatt's self-created mohan vina, a hybrid between guitar and the Indian vichitra vina, and Ry's bottleneck guitar. And ably supported by Sukhvinder Singh Hamdhari on tabla and Ry's 14-year-old son Joachim on dumbek, a Middle Eastern bongo-like hand drums. Ry and Bhatt apparently met for the first time less than an hour before the recording session at the Christ The King Chapel in Santa Barbara California. The fusion collaboration musical inter-play is spontaneous and tranquil, said to be a one-take only. As the album moves on, Ry embraced more Indian sound while Bhatt more bluesy. No, it is not an Indian music album. How to categorise it? Well, the album was voted BEST WORLD MUSIC album in the 1994 Grammy Awards. A must listen album.
song is an improvisaton of johnson's 'dark is the night', which incidentally was put as a recording on pioneer 11 at instigation of Lomax and Sagan....

Right on! I can't tell them apart....but what is good music without drum/tabla....who never get recognized. I go crazy for great drums. Why don't they get any credit? 😟
2021......Genius! A wonderful blending of sounds,....so complimentary to each other. Ry is a master,...check out his soundtrack compositions for movies,...all excellent. I recommend the soundtrack for: Paris,Texas
My violin teacher from Japan told me to "pray more fleely".... ("Play more freely"....I got it, but his accent made a sweet twist). West ->East-> now global meat eaters.🥵 Protect cow please my friends. You protect dog & cat, now befriend the truly magnanimous creatures who give milk as a mother gives.

i have been to Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's house in Jaipur and seen his instruments and been shown how they are played by his son......he was not in town at the time being that he was giving concerts all over India at the time........his guitars had been Indianised in that they were meant to played as lie flat slide guitars but some of them had sympathetic drone strings just like sitars, derubas and sarods have. he had already done the album with Rye Cooder by the time that i got taken there and there was posters and writing about it, not to mention an album.......i used to do business in Jaipur and i know the city like a second home even keeping a motorbike there to this day. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt is the pride of the city, he is the only world class musician who lives there.

music doesnt change as much as ones friends do

Sitar and delta blues hauntingly beautiful
It isn't sitar. It is mohan veena designed by Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt himself.
Haven’t gotten a damn thing done this morning but discovered some great musicians so...yeah!
MY first exposure to Ravi Shankar was buying one of his albums from a dollar bargain bin at the local Thrifty Drug Store...best dollar I ever spent.
Add a few more cents for an ice cream cone. I still wonder if I was wrong for not grabbing an old Who album, but you chose well. Now, look for Anoushca Shankar (sp).
Just ....... Wow .. ....
Ry Cooder, soon to be, if not already, one of our true national treasures.
+craig sides national treasures of world!
V.M. Bhatt is one of India's true treasure so it's a good marriage of music.

Why don't they get any credit?

Just "Wow" can't believe it took me so long to find something like this. So much better off now!
How can music be so good!

I feel if these guys went on tour for 20 years, the music would be unbelievably awesome!
Just like "good books take you to other good books," good musicians put you in touch with other good musicians.

2021......Genius! A wonderful blending of sounds,....so complimentary to each other. Ry is a master,...check out his soundtrack compositions for movies,...all excellent. I recommend the soundtrack for: Paris,Texas
the man is supreme slide guitar par excellence truly gifted human being bless his soul life goes on within us and without us jake love to the universe
As Ravi Shankar once titled a tune "West eats meat" Ry Cooder goes to hear all,then play all.
My violin teacher from Japan told me to "pray more fleely"....
("Play more freely"....I got it, but his accent made a sweet twist).
West ->East-> now global meat eaters.🥵
Protect cow please my friends. You protect dog & cat, now befriend the truly magnanimous creatures who give milk as a mother gives.
Kove this so much thank you so much for sharing here.awesome.
still love the work of Ry Cooder!!
Southern comfort introduced me to Ry along with Dewey Balfa
You and me both ...the cajun music at the end and climax of the movie
I just rewatched that film a few weeks ago. An underrated gem. And Cooder's score totally elevates it! It's out on Blu-ray now.
so up lifting fantastic music
This is taking me to a wonderful mystical level of life.
This should've been included in the movie "Sita Sings the Blues"
Lorsque l’on aime les voyages, avec ce morceau il suffit de fermer les yeux...
That is so cool. Man you can feel it.

The most beautiful song on this album is Isa Lei: simply a stunning composition and interpretation of an old Fijian (?) farewell song.
