Anoushka Shankar is a contemporary master of Hindustani classical music and the sitar who also enjoys adventuring into the realms of Indian pop music. Ravi Shankar's daughter and Norah Jones's half-sister, Anoushka has proved to be a worthy heir to her father. Her songs with Jones and various pop stars - including Sting and M.I.A. - are remarkably sensitive and of exceptional quality.

London-born Anoushka Shankar was taught from the age of seven by her father, the Indian music great Ravi Shankar. Anoushka became a talented musician in her own right, stepping out of her parent's shadow with two extraordinary albums of Hindustani classical music. An outstanding musician in her own right, Shankar has displayed her ability through both classic Indian music and Indian-infused electronica and art pop compositions, while she has frequently collaborated with both her father and her half-sister. In 2017, the British Film Institute asked her to write the score for a restoration of the 1928 silent film Shiraz. The two-hour romantic epic narrates the background story of the Taj Mahal in a fictitious setting. It was a grand creation, with thousands of extras, and Shankar composed a similarly large-scale, multifaceted musical score. The score combines authentic sounds of the 17th century and the musical language of the era when the film was shot - 90 years ago - with the idiosyncratic and contemporary sound of Anoushka Shankar and her band. It is an ambitious undertaking. Watching the film is a truly immersive experience, especially when accompanied live by Anoushka Shankar and her seven-person band.
