I was recently reading about some Western artist and how some of their songs had Eastern influences.First to come to mind is Led Zeppelin,"Kashmir" and John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana collaborations,which,by the way,tells my age for even knowing about!And there are others mentioned in the article like Dick Dale,a famous surf guitarist,with the song "Miserlou".And others include,The Grateful Dead with "Blues For Allah",the Rolling Stones,"Paint It Black",and more.And even the music in the movie Pulp Fiction,"Miserlou".,To read more here is the link...
