Career
As early as 1967, Shiv-Hari went on to record the album titled Call of the Valley. With the active participation of guitarist Brij Bhushan Kabra and the unusual way in which this Indian classical music album was organized, the result was a fresh, edgy, and slightly controversial form of music. The innovative use of the guitar on the album made it popular among people from Western countries. It is still one of the most successful albums of Indian classical music ever recorded.
This marked the beginning of the partnership and numerous live outings followed over the years. As a nod to the 1967 concept album, the duo released a live album The Valley Recalls in 1996.
On 10 May 2022, Shivkumar Sharma died due to cardiac arrest. He was 84 years old.
Discography
Although they mostly embarked on solo projects at different points of their respective careers, Shiv-Hari teamed up again for eight Hindi-language movies in total.
