Anoushka Shankar

Met haar prachtige sitarspel verlegt Anoushka Shankar de grenzen tussen Indiase en westerse muziek, net als haar beroemde vader Ravi Shankar. Het leverde haar wereldwijd succes op, en maar liefst vier Grammy-nominaties. Haar nieuwste muziek is spannender dan ooit; een dynamische mix van Indiase raga, electro en jazz.

De 34-jarige Anoushka Shankar treedt al op sinds haar vroege tienerjaren. Ze bracht negen albums uit met vele beroemde gastmusici onder wie haar halfzus, jazzvocaliste Norah Jones. Met haar nieuwe band, waarin akoestische en elektronische instrumenten samengaan, speelt ze muziek van haar negende album Land of Gold.

It has earned her worldwide success, affirmed by no less than four Grammy nominations. Her latest music, a dynamic mix of Indian raga, electro and jazz, is her most challenging yet.

The 34-year-old musician has been performing on stage since her early teens and has released nine albums to date, featuring renowned musicians such as her half-sister, jazz vocalist Norah Jones. With her new band, combining acoustic and electric instruments, she will perform music from her ninth album Land of Gold.
