Music Album: Anoushka Shankar - Traveller [2011]



Ever wondered what happens when you combine Indian sitar music with Spanish flamenco? Look no further than this latest album by the daughter of Pandit Ravi Shankar. The last time I listened to Anoushka, she was touring the world playing ragas alongside her legendary father. Dad and I even had the pleasure of watching them both live in front of a packed audience in Montreal some years ago. But this album is quite different and even magical in parts, particularly Track 2 embedded above.

Glad you enjoyed it so much! I must admit I don't think I've ever listened to any of Anoushka's other albums, just heard her live with her dad in Montreal. And I don't know why I didn't check out her other stuff on Spotify until your comment inspired me to do so just now. :)
