In all this, one must also recognise that the opening track of the ‘Let’s Merge’ concert, "Prabhujee", a Pandit composition that appeared on his ‘Chants Of India’ album (produced by Harrison), which I proudly released in India on behalf portable saw mill for sale of the company popularly known as HMV (now Saregama) which, then, represented Angel Records, a record label founded by EMI in 1953 and, since 2013, is merged within Warner Music. Of course, no performance could be complete without bringing out the obvious inspiration of Indian classical music on The Beatles — which, as mentioned earlier, was courtesy member George Harrison being influenced by the learnings of Pandit Ravi Shankar and, with it, his passion for India and its musical heritage — with "Norwegian Wood" unified with raag bageshri.

But the surprises did not merely end here as "Autumn Leaves" — initially sung by Dhanashree in perfect French — was effortlessly blended with raag kirwani as Dhanashree switched to Hindi prior to the Paul Desmond composition, "Take 5" (popularised by the Dave Brubeck Quartet), merging with the Hindustani jhaptal, as both musical genres were wrapped in five beats. The culmination of what initially was considered to be diverse sounds was the obvious entry of Indian sounds in Western compositions, none more obvious than in songs like "Love You Too" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" on the Beatles’ 1966 album, ‘Revolver’, The Byrds’ 1966 released "Eight Miles High", and on Traffic’s 1967 album, ‘Mr Fantasy’, which featured "Paper Sun".
