A New York Evening With Anoushka Shankar at National Sawdust

Because she is the daughter of Ravi Shankar, perhaps the most famous Indian classical musician of the past century, Anoushka Shankar is associated with that style of music. But though she plays the sitar, and does indeed play Indian ragas in the style of her illustrious dad, she has also drawn on jazz, flamenco, various world and electronic music traditions, and more. Her new record, We Return To Love, is the conclusion of a trilogy of EPs. The track, “We Burn So Brightly,” was inspired by the electronic raves she attended in her apparently wilder, younger years on the coasts of Goa. Anoushka Shankar's Friday night show at Town Hall is sold out, but she’ll join John Schaefer for a conversation and performance on March 26 at National Sawdust, presented by the GRAMMY Museum.
