Wise Music Group has inked a co-publishing deal with the estate of Ravi Shankar, also acquiring his archives with unreleased recordings and unpublished compositions, along with the record label, East Meets West Music.

Included in the deal are 600 titles from the composer’s Anourag Music Publishing, such as his famed scores for film director Satyajit Ray’s Apu trilogy and his Grammy-winning 1967 collaboration with classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin.

The archives also contain works from artists like Ravi’s daughters Anoushka Shankar and Norah Jones, as well as George Harrison, Herbie Hancock, Philip Glass, Zubin Mehta, Sting, Ray Charles and Phil Collins, plus Indian collaborators Ali Akbar Khan and Alla Rakha.

With hand-engraved scores and handwritten compositions, the holdings encompass more than 1,500 audio recordings, 2,100 video recordings, 600 films, over 5,000 photographs and more.

“It was very important to have my father’s music in good hands with people with a vision and the ability to see that vision through, to keep his music alive and to keep sharing it,” said nine-time Grammy nominee Anoushka, who oversees the musical holdings with her mother Sukanya and recently inked an exclusive pub deal with Chester Music, part of Wise Music.

“I am delighted that Wise Music Group, a family business, will now represent the music of two generations of the Shankar family,” added Wise Music Group CEO, Tomas Wise.
