Anoushka Shankar and Alam Khan belong from two of the biggest stalwarts of classical music families in India - with Anoushka being the daughter of the legendary sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and Alam Khan being the son of the renowned Sarod Maestro Ali Akbar Khan. With such rich background, the collaboration is poised to be nothing less than extraordinary. Meanwhile, Anoushka Shankar has collaborated with different producers on each mini-album, and this time too, she is joining forces with Sarathy Korwar - one of the most original and compelling voices in the British jazz scene. With the trio joining forces, this collaboration promises to emerge as grand and promising.
Currently, the 11-time Grammy-nominated Anoushka Shankar is also cherishing the joy of unveiling 'Hiraeth' and 'We Burn So Brightly', the respective first and second singles from her album 'Chapter III: We Return To Light'.
