Description
Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar has emerged as one of the leading figures in world music today. She is deeply rooted in Indian classical music, having studied exclusively with her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, and is now one of the foremost performers in that 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.In the autumn of 1998 her first solo recording, Anoushka, was released to critical acclaim. Annourag(2000), Shankar's second release expanded upon and refined what she had previously recorded and was followed by Live a Carnegie Hall (2001) which garnered her first Grammy nomination, making her the youngest ever nominee in the World music category. Both Shankar and her half-sister, Norah Jones, were nominated for Grammy awards in 2003.
