  • Summary

  • Anoushka Shankar, sitarist and composer, was trained in her art from age seven  by her father, Ravi Shankar, eventually traveling the world as part of his ensemble. When she began to explore music on her own, it was via electronica, collaborating with Karsh Kale on the album 'Breathing Underwater'. Over her career she has earned seven Grammy nominations. 

    Anoushka's record 'Land of Gold' focused her listeners on the plight of refugees, and she remains a committed activist for this cause. She has collaborated with everyone from her late godfather George Harrison to her sister Norah Jones, from MIA to Ibeyi. A mother of two, Anoushka's tenth  and most personal album, 'Love Letters', was released last year. Co-produced with Alev Lenz, it is this podcast's favourite 'divorce' album since Paul Simon's 'Graceland'.
