Anoushka Shankar Vinyl Records
A virtuosic performer and composer with an innovative spirit, Anoushka Shankar followed in the footsteps of her late father, Indian sitar legend Ravi Shankar, mastering the same instrument and blazing her own artistic path that encompasses both Indian classical traditions and progressive world music. Establishing herself as a formidable talent in her teenage years, she recorded a series of classically oriented albums for Angel Records in the early 2000s before branching out into more experimental territory with her Grammy-nominated 2005 release Rise. Following that album, Shankar's output tended to focus on her own compositions and collaborations with a variety of artists in genres ranging from pop and jazz to electronic and flamenco.
