A 60 minutes documentary film 'Shakti Timeless' which tells the story of the Indo-western music group Shakti. Formed in 1975, the group pioneered a groundbreaking and highly influential music East-meets-West approach. In the 70s, the group, whose name means creative intelligence, beauty and power, consisted of legendary British jazz guitarist John McLaughlin, North Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain and violinist L. Shankar and ghatam [percussion] player T.H. 'Vikku' Vinayakram, both of whom hail from South India. Together, they created a fluid and organic sound that managed to successfully combine seemingly incompatible traditions. After a number of very successful live concerts and albums they disbanded.
The group was reformed in 1997 under the name 'Remember Shakti' with new talents from India like V. Selvanganesh who replaced his father 'Vikku' and the young prodigy 'Mandolin' U. Shrinivas who replaced L. Shankar. In 2000, the young Indian Classical singer Shankar Mahadevan joined the group as the first vocal element in the group.
Through interviews with the original founding members, John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain, the film uncovers the quest for breaking new musical ground that led to the creation of their own brand of music.
These interviews are interwoven with rare and exclusive historical footage of the group from the 70s to the present day. The film also introduces the younger generation of Shakti and their views on its ever-evolving music.
A 45 minutes live coverage film called 'Sound check' shot at a Remember Shakti concert in Paris (New Morning Club) in 2004 featuring a behind the scenes look at the group.
A 55 minutes live concert in Bombay in 2000 called 'Saturday Night in Bombay'.
Two live concert videos of the group shot in Montreux Jazz Festival in 1976 and 2004.
