But what can you expect from a girl who started studying music with her father, the world's most famous sitar player, when she was just nine years old? Granted, her father wasn't too interested in teaching Anoushka to play sitar, probably due to some residual cultural sexism, but with her mother's intercession the elder Shankar conceded. It was a good thing, too; within four years Anoushka was making waves with her first public performance (in New Delhi) and a guest spot on her father's 1994 release, In Celebration. Shankar released her first solo recording, the aptly named Anoushka, in 1998 to critical acclaim. Anourag followed, and in 2001 her Live At Carnegie Hall was nominated for a Best World Music Album Grammy, making her the youngest nominee ever for that honor. Somewhere in the mix Shankar had also become a master classical pianist -- and this was all before she turned 22 years old. Shankar took a much-needed sabbatical in 2004, though the break proved to be more productive than she'd expected: she wrote her first short film score and came up with material for a new solo release, 2005's Rise. A personal and unconventional album, Rise takes its inspiration from classical Indian ragas -- actually moving through a full cycle of morning to evening ragas from start to finish -- while radically re-imagining the form. Collaborators on the album include South Indian slide guitarist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and flamenco pianist Ricardo Mino, and Shankar experiments ably with an ambient soundscape that at times recalls the best work of film composer A.R. Rahman. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63046&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindustani Instrumental Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:41:10 -0800 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.63046 art.63046 Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia art.63046 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63046&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63046&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25242&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindustani Instrumental Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:50:37 -0800 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.25242 art.25242 Ustad Ali Akbar Khan art.25242 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25242&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25242&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25251&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindustani Instrumental Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:16:39 -0700 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.25251 art.25251 Ustad Sultan Khan art.25251 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25251&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25251&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Sri Durga and worked with Asian Underground outfit Tabla Beat Science and Zakir Hussain's Masters of Percussion. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11830&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss World Fusion Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:42:50 -0700 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.11830 art.11830 Trilok Gurtu art.11830 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11830&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11830&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss The Beat of Love he brought African pop into the fold, enlisting help from African singers Angelique Kidjo and Salif Keita, among others.

He has also created new finger and playing styles that have led to unbelievably fast playing, much of which was never possible before. The result? Music that never compromises its roots, though it fiddles with them gleefully. Only a few other musicians have visited the hypothetical musical world that lives between the South Pacific and South Asia, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Ry Cooder and Bob Brozman among them. But few can claim Bhattacharya's virtuosity: listening to a raga by the man can be both an emotional and an intellectual journey. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2808&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindustani Instrumental Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:39:42 -0700 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2808 art.2808 Shafaatullah Khan art.2808 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2808&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2808&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25363590&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindustani Instrumental Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:48:10 -0800 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.25363590 art.25363590 Hariprasad Chaurasi art.25363590 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25363590&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25363590&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.29239023&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindustani Instrumental Tue, 21 Jul 2009 16:00:08 -0700 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.29239023 art.29239023 Shalil Shankar Sitar art.29239023 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.29239023&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.29239023&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.29526456&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Findian-classical%2Fhindustani-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindustani Instrumental Fri, 7 Aug 2009 09:42:30 -0700 Top Hindustani Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.29526456 art.29526456 M.
