Anoushka Shankar has shown herself to be a unique artist with tremendous talent and understanding of the musical tradition. She has been playing and studying the sitar with her father, the legendary composer, Ravi Shankar, since she was nine, and at age thirteen she made her performing debut on stage.
In her album “Rise”, composed, produced and arranged by Anoushka, she collaborated with a select team of Eastern and Western musicians on a variety of both acoustic and electronic instruments, often using unexpected techniques to create tantalizing new sounds.
