#5033, Anoushka Shankar, From National Sawdust / GRAMMY Museum Presents

New Sounds | Oct 13

Because she is the daughter of Ravi Shankar, perhaps the most famous Indian classical musician of the past century, Anoushka Shankar is associated with that style of music. But though she plays the sitar, and does indeed play Indian ragas in the style of her illustrious dad, she has also drawn on jazz, flamenco, various world and electronic music traditions, and more. An eleven-time Grammy nominee, she has collaborated with master musicians from around the world and across the musical spectrum as well. The masterful sitarist, film composer, and impassioned activist Anoushka Shankar presents the third chapter in her trilogy of mini-albums, We Return To Light, which explores her fascination with Goa Trance. She and her band perform live at National Sawdust, as part of the GRAMMY Museum's series, "A New York Evening With".
