Shakti is a fusion band formed by English guitarist John McLaughlin, Indian violin player L. Shankar, percussionists Zakir Hussain (on tabla) and T. H. “Vikku” Vinayakram (on Ghatam) in 1973, initially under the stage name “Turiyananda Sangit” (which translates in English in “The pinnacle delight in music”). The band played acoustic fusion music which combined Indian music with elements of jazz. The band’s name means, in English, “creative intelligence, beauty, and power.”
In addition to fusing American and Indian music, Shakti also represented a fusion of the Hindustani and Carnatic music traditions, since Hussain is from the north region of India while the other Indian members are from the South.
The group came together in 1973, after the dissolution of the first incarnation of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and toured fairly extensively during the period 1975-1977; it made only sporadic appearances (with personnel changes) thereafter.
