Music Album: Anoushka Shankar - Traveller [2011]

[mcgillianaire]

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.

What an amazing track! That's actually the first time I've heard any of Anoushka's music. My favourite thing about the video was the pure joy in everyone's faces. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing that! I'll need to check it out for sure!

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. :)
