More about Anoushka Shankar

Having studied exclusively with her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, Anoushka is now one of the foremost performers in the Indian classical music tradition. In tandem with this, she has flourished as a performer and composer, exploring fertile ground in the crossover between Indian music and a variety of genres including electronica, jazz, flamenco and Western classical music.

Today, from her twin homes of New Delhi and California, Anoushka continues to stretch out in different directions. She has made guest appearances on recordings by other artists, among them Sting, Lenny Kravitz and Thievery Corporation. Meanwhile, her developing work with Western classical musicians has included duetting with acclaimed violinist Joshua Bell at the 2007 Verbier Festival.
