The result was a collision of musical worlds and – some 25 years later – a studio album that combined Glass’s American Minimalism with Shankar’s sitar and the traditions of Hindustani classical music. A hypnotic flow of sound, blending cello, saxophone and other Western instruments with the glittering pulse of the sitar, Passages was presented here in its first complete live performance. The Britten Sinfonia and Karen Kamensek was joined by Shankar’s daughter, sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar

_NEW MUSIC REVIEWS_

(Review from Electronic Musician

; Nov

2013)

Sitarist Anoushka Shankar is a symbol of India’s past and future, her intensely beautiful music grounded in Indian classical but encompassing dance, electronic, and pop styles. Her seventh album, _Traces of You_, includes guest vocals from half-sister Norah Jones, and reveals Shankar’s increasingly mature composition and orchestration skills. If ever music reflected a nation’s moment in time, _Traces of You_’s soulful sitar, swelling orchestrations, and pulsing beats provide a contemporary soundtrack to a land and its people developing at breakneck speed.

_It is a year since my beloved Raviji left his physical abode, but he is present in every breath I take. Sitting here in front of his Concerto Sitar beautifully displayed at the Taj hotel in Mumbai at the Ravi Shankar Suite, I thank God for having given me the opportunity to serve this beautiful soul. What hasn't he done in music? How many millions has he touched with his sacred music! My heart swells with pride and gratitude. Anoushka just performed a concert at the Terrace here. It was a beautiful show, Raviji would have been proud. The song, "The Sun Won't Set," lingers in my mind. Yes, Ravi - the Sun of India - will not set. His music and legacy will keep playing and motivating generations to come! The only way I can heal is to protect and share his work with the world. There is so much to do, I cannot do it alone and I seek all your help in this huge task. _

Nov 14, 2013;  DCist.com: Arts & Entertainment The music world lost one of its treasures last December with the passing of  RAVI SHANKAR. A brilliant sitarist, he played a key role in introducing western audiences to Indian classical music, first through his relationship with The Beatles' George Harrison and later with memorable performances at the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. Fortunately, he leaves us with a rich catalog of recorded material and his legacy also continues through his gifted daughter, Anoushka Shankar

.

With the title track and other compositions like "Fathers", the elder Shankar's spirit permeates throughout Anoushka's recent release, _Traces of You_.

..

..."It's a really lovely band. I'm genuinely excited to be presenting this music with them," Shankar said of the upcoming performance. "I'm very conscious of people taking the time to buy a ticket and come out to a concert, especially in this economy. But I hope we move people. I hope they find things that are beautiful."...READ FULL ARTICLE >> _FOR MORE INFORMATION & TOUR DATES GO TO WWW.ANOUSHKASHANKAR.COM

ANOUSHKA SHANKAR & NORAH JONES Nov 6, 2013;  American Songwriter Norah Jones On Working With Sister Anoushka Shankar

Watch the Video

A strong sense of family runs through Grammy-winning Indian musician Anoushka Shankar ’s new album _Traces Of You_. During the recording, she lost her father, the sitar master Ravi Shankar; she also focused on raising her young son, Zubin. Anuoshka’s half sister Norah Jones lends her famous pipes to the sitar-laden “The Sun Won’t Set,” marking their first collaboration in many years. The album is inspired by the idea that each of us leaves an indelible mark on everyone we come in contact

with.

In this video , Jones talks about their easy-going collaboration. “Even though we have a little differences musically — we come from very different influences — there was a lot of shorthand we could use in the studio,” she notes. “We’re both very quick, and don’t have a lot of patience for doing things a million times.” “Now that we’re both so comfortable in our own skin as people or as musicians, for us to come together at this point in our lives is

very special.”

ANOUSHKA SHANKAR ON TOUR Nov 8, 2013;  AL.com Anoushka Shankar's tour stop whets the appetite for more Indian music of the classical kind (music review) The distinctive yearning twang of her sitar resonated through the Alys Stephens Center 's Jemison Concert Hall Thursday night, as she began a tour that will take her through North America and Europe and end in India. It was clear from five supporting musicians on stage that this would be a global venture -- cellists Danny Keane and Tanya Wells doubling on piano, Pirashanna Tevarajah on percussion, Sanjeev Shankar on shehnai, Manu Delago doubling on drums and "hang," a trio of pitched percussion instruments similar to steel drums. "Voice of the Moon," a condensed raga Anoushka composed for her "Rise" album, gave notice that she has remained committed to the Hindustani roots instilled by her father. Starting with a short alap, it accelerated from slow, ornamental pitch bends to a leisurely rhythmic walk to a melodic frenzy, Tevarajah's drumming on the south Indian mridangam and Sanjeev Shankar's double-reed shehnai keeping pace with Anoushka's fiery technique. See entire review. _FOR ALL ANOUSHKA'S TOUR DATES CLICK HERE_ ANOUSHKA SHANKAR: NEW ALBUM 'A JOURNEY'

Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar's music is deeply rooted in Indian classical music, which she studied from the age of nine under her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, who passed away last year. Now she has teamed up with producer Nitin Sawhney and her sister, Norah Jones, on a new album entitled Traces of You. Speaking to the BBC's Lucy Hockings, the artist said: "All music comes from a personal place and for me it was really about a journey that I ended up going on, that I hadn't even really meant to go on".
