Anoushka Shankar – ‘Traveller’
20 November - 5 December
“Traveller” brings together the passionate and diverse music of Spain with the vibrant sounds of the Indian tradition. Traveller traces the gypsies’ journey from their homeland in Rajasthan to finally settling in Spain. Anoushka Shankar and her specially selected group of all-star Indian and flamenco musicians re-forge the thousand-year-old link between Spanish and Indian music in her new work. Vocal and instrumental lines packed with emotion, driving rhythms and subtle musical colours will transport you on this magical journey.
Anoushka Shankar is one of the world’s great sitar players and the only artist to be trained solely by her father, the unsurpassed Ravi Shankar. Anoushka Shankar has not only blossomed as a great sitar player but also as a composer in her own right producing great new music that is rooted in the Indian classical tradition but also boldly explores musical connections and fusions in a unique and thoroughly engaging way. Following her acclaimed CDs ‘Rise’ (nominated for a Grammy) and ‘Breathing Under Water’, this project carries forward to a new generation the sense of exciting and open-eared musical exploration that has marked both their careers.
Anoushka will be accompanied by Indian and Flamenco musicians on percussion, flute, shehnai and vocals. The tour will be accompanied by Anoushka's debut release, the album Traveller, on Deutsche Grammophon.
