We get the latest accounts of the deaths of nine children in one medical family in Gaza - we speak to a doctor who recounts what the mother of these children told her. And we hear a response from the Israeli government to the deaths of the children. Also on the programme: Is Israel beginning to lose the backing of some Western governments? Grammy-nominated musician Anoushka Shankar tells us about her latest album; five years after the death of George Floyd, how much has changed as a result of the Black Lives Matter Movement? And the South Korean woman whose daughter was kidnapped and then traced to the US 44 years later.(Photo: Tents of internally displaced Palestinians who fled from the northern Gaza Strip are set up next to the beach in the west of Gaza City, 25 May 2025.

At its core, Ambient is a sensibility — a way of perceiving or sensing the world around us. As a sensibility, it gives us a heightened awareness of our physical and cultural surroundings; as a contemporary music genre, the name may be new, but the music has old, even ancient roots, arising from the discovery that slow tempos, repeated patterns, hypnotic rhythms, and resonant enclosures can alter our sense of time, and transform our experience of space. The 20th century saw the invention of electronic music, along with technical advances in communication, travel, sound recording, and music distribution—all of which sparked unprecedented exposure to non-western folk, classical, and tribal music from indigenous cultures around the world. In 1987, the European and North American music industry—determined to avoid the confusion and criticism that accompanied the choice of "New Age" for an earlier emerging genre—opted for simplicity and called the entire non-western traditional category "World Music." In time the World Music genre expanded to include ethnic fusions, crossovers, and hybrids, and the ethereal sounds of Tribal Electronic and World Ambient. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we journey over the high desert mesas, wind-blown dunes, and endless plains of the Ethno-Ambient soundscape, on a program called "AMBIENT TRAVELER 4." Music is by LAYNE REDMOND & TOMMY BRUNGES, BYRON METCALF & ARI URBAN, SUZANNE TENG & GILBERT LEVY, MARLA LEIGH, STEPHAN MICUS, and ANOUSHKA SHANKAR.

Because she is the daughter of Ravi Shankar, perhaps the most famous Indian classical musician of the past century, Anoushka Shankar is associated with that style of music. But though she plays the sitar, and does indeed play Indian ragas in the style of her illustrious dad, she has also drawn on jazz, flamenco, various world and electronic music traditions, and more. Her new record, We Return To Love, is the conclusion of a trilogy of EPs. The masterful sitarist, film composer, and impassioned activist Anoushka Shankar presents the third chapter in her current trilogy of mini-albums, which explores her fascination with Goa Trance. She and her band perform live at National Sawdust, as part of the Grammy Museum's series, "A New York Evening With".Set list: Stolen Moments, New Dawn, Hiraeth, We Burn So Brightly, Amrita, Daybreak

Dans son dernier livre en date, Gabrielle Halpern poursuit sa réflexion sur l'hybridation.

When Anoushka Shankar was in Goa two years ago, she wrote down four words: “Three chapters, three geographies.” That note has been the inspiration for a trilogy of mini-albums. With the release of the latest and final album, “Chapter III: We Return To Light,” the acclaimed sitar player sits down with Tom Power to tell us what was driving her creatively, how she wants to change perceptions of her instrument, and how she navigates her career in the shadow cast by her famous father, Ravi Shankar.

Als der Tiroler Schlagzeuger Manu Delago um die Jahrtausendwende zum ersten Mal dieses Instrument aus Bern namens Hang in der Hand hält, gibt es dazu kaum Informationen, geschweige denn Vorbilder: Er bringt sich selbst bei, wie man diese zwei aufeinander geklebten Halbkugeln aus Stahlblech mit den kunstvoll eingehämmerten Dellen auf der Oberseite am besten spielt. Ein frühes Video von Delago geht viral, plötzlich kommen Anfragen von berühmten Musiker*innen wie Björk oder Anoushka Shankar, die mit ihm spielen wollen. In "Menschen & ihre Musik" erzählt Manu Delago, wohin ihn das Hang, oder - allgemeiner bezeichnet - die Handpans so alles geführt haben und welche Musik ihn auch abseits davon geprägt und beeinflusst hat: von Stravinsky bis zu den Red Hot Chili Peppers.

It's been almost seventy years since the arrival of Indian classical music in Europe and the United States. Starting in 1956, English violinist YEHUDI MENUHIN's interest in Indian music led to collaborations and concert tours with two of the then hottest young musicians in India—sitar master RAVI SHANKAR and sarod master ALI AKBAR KHAN. It was the beginning of a period of cross-fertilization of Indian and Western classical music. And in the 1960's, the famous adoption of the Indian sitar by GEORGE HARRISON of THE BEATLES brought awareness of Indian music to the mainstream. Today, recordings, films, videos, and digital networks have led to a broadening of cultural communication, where influence and interaction occur across many genres simultaneously. Western musicians study Indian microtonal scales, play Indian instruments, and create new hybrid styles—while Indian musicians study western tempered scales, harmony, and orchestration, play electronic instruments, and extend the traditions of Indian music to an international audience. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, contemporary, traditional, and sacred sounds of India, on a program called INDIA NAVIGATION 2. Music is by sitarists JASDEEP SINGH DEGUN, ANOUSHKA SHANKAR, and NILADRI KUMAR, bansuri flutists MARK SEELIG and VIRGINIA NICOLI, sarod and santur by CHINMAYA DUNSTER, and producer CRAIG PRUESS and the great devotional singer ANURADHA PAUDWAL.

Au début du XXIème siècle, le sitariste de renommée internationale Ravi Shankar faisait une tournée « d'adieu » en présentant son héritière, sa fille Anoushka Shankar. Depuis, l'artiste britannique d'origine indienne s'évertue avec talent à défolkloriser son instrument. Entretien et #SessionLive. La longue liste des projets accomplis par Anoushka Shankar, semble raconter l'histoire de plusieurs vies condensées en une seule : sitariste virtuose, compositrice de musiques de films, militante passionnée ; elle est également la première et plus jeune femme à se voir remettre les armes du Parlement britannique, la première musicienne indienne à présenter et jouer lors de la cérémonie des Grammy Awards. Ayant fait ses premiers pas sur la scène internationale très jeune, elle s'est rapidement imposée comme une artiste singulière, animée par une soif d'explorer au-delà des frontières des genres, passant du classique au contemporain, de l'acoustique à l'électronique le long d'une carrière qui court depuis près de vingt-cinq ans.Tout en offrant un répit du monde où elle grandit sous le regard continu du public, la maison familiale des Shankar était rarement un lieu propice au recueillement silencieux. Les musiciens allaient et venaient en permanence, que ce soit pour apprendre, répéter, improviser ou simplement s'adonner à des jeux musicaux autour de la table à manger. Anoushka s'est mise à étudier le sitar, et la musique classique indienne dès l'âge de 9 ans sous le haut patronage de son père, Pandit Ravi Shankar, maître de l'instrument et figure sans laquelle la musique du XXème siècle n'aurait pas été la même. Après des débuts professionnels à l'âge de 13 ans, elle part en tournée autour du monde aux côtés de son père avant de poursuivre son propre chemin sur scène à l'âge de 18 ans.Découvrant la musique électronique à l'adolescence, elle s'immerge alors dans la scène psychédélique trance de Goa établissant des parallèles entre les propriétés méditatives et introspectives de la musique classique indienne et le relâchement extatique sur la piste de danse. Trois albums de musique classique plus tard (chez Angel Records EMI), elle n'a que 25 ans et est déjà une habituée des salles prestigieuses telles le Carnegie Hall de New York et Le Barbican de Londres. Elle s'oriente ensuite vers des ambiances plus telluriques, des textures plus profondes avec l'album Rise (2005), animée par le désir de « créer une musique qui puisse pleinement représenter qui je suis ». Composée et réalisée par ses soins, la musique de Rise est infusée de sons électroniques créés avec Gaurav Raina de MIDIval Punditz, un « moyen de raconter mon histoire avec mon père : grandir sur trois continents avec un pied dans le passé et un autre dans le présent ».L'album suivant Breathing Underwater, réalisé en collaboration avec le multi-instrumentiste Karsh Kale, entrevoit un univers sonore où les ragas, les paysages analogues lumineux, les nappes électro contemplatives et les incursions de Ravi Shankar, Sting et de sa demi-sœur Norah Jones, s'imbriquent harmonieusement sans jamais donner l'impression de ne pas être à leur place.La signature chez Deutsche Grammophon en 2011 est le point de départ d'une décennie marquée par une créativité débridée. Le temps de quatre albums, tous nommés aux Grammy Awards, des fils disparates sont tissés ensemble pour former une riche tapisserie où les thèmes se bousculent et les palettes sonores sont constamment élargies. Les intenses méditations sur l'amour et la perte de Traces Of You, réalisé par Nitin Sawhney, sont suivies de Home et le retour doucement triomphant des pures improvisations raga.La relation historique entre la musique classique indienne et le flamenco espagnol est au cœur de Traveller, réalisé par Javier Limón, alors que l'actuelle crise internationale touchant les réfugiés est à la source du cri de ralliement de Land Of Gold. Land Of Gold cristallise parfaitement le son d'Anoushka : le sitar dé-exotisée résonne autour de l'instrumentation imprévisible en défiant les frontières des genres.En 2022, Anoushka rejoint Leiter, le label fondé par Nils Frahm et son manager Felix Grimm, et sort l'album live, Between Us qui est nommé dans la catégorie Meilleur Album de Musiques du Monde aux Grammy Awards, et Anoushka reçoit une nomination dans la catégorie Meilleure Prestation de Musiques du Monde pour sa collaboration avec Arook Aftab, sur Udhero Na extrait de l'édition Deluxe de Vulture Prince du chanteur et compositeur pakistanais.Elle collabore avec des artistes aussi divers que Herbie Hancock, Patti Smith, Joshua Bell, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Jules Buckley Anoushka considère que son plus grand défi musical reste ses premiers pas dans la composition pour le cinéma: avec la réalisation d'une bande originale de Shiraz, l'un des premiers grands films muets indiens restauré par l'Institut du Film Britannique, et sa performance lors des projections. Plus récemment, elle compose la bande originale de A Suitable Boy (« Un Garçon Convenable ») de Mira Nair.Avec sa musique, Anoushka évoque aussi bien les instants intemporels du passé que l'urgence du futur, ce qui la pousse à nourrir son travail d'un engagement sans relâche. S'exprimant ouvertement à propos de ses expériences en tant que femme et ancienne victime de maltraitance dans son enfance, elle met sa notoriété au profit de campagnes telle que le One Billion Rising. Elle est fréquemment associée aux initiatives du Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les Réfugiés (UNHCR) et de Help Refugees afin de récolter des fonds et sensibiliser les gens à la crise des réfugiés. En 2020, elle est investie première présidente de la F-List: une base de données britannique créée afin de combler l'écart entre les sexes dans l'industrie musicale. Elle est également ambassadrice de The Walk, un projet artistique international de soutien aux réfugiés. Tout cela ne fait que témoigner de la singularité d'une artiste qui parvient à mener plusieurs vies en une. Titres interprétés au grand studio- In The End Live RFI (issu de l'EP Chapter II) + RFI Vidéos- Extrait Raga Anandi Kalya avec son père  Ravi Shankar voir clip- Daydreaming Feat.

Après des débuts professionnels à l'âge de 13 ans, elle part en tournée autour du monde aux côtés de son père avant de poursuivre son propre chemin sur scène à l'âge de 18 ans.Découvrant la musique électronique à l'adolescence, elle s'immerge alors dans la scène psychédélique trance de Goa établissant des parallèles entre les propriétés méditatives et introspectives de la musique classique indienne et le relâchement extatique sur la piste de danse. Trois albums de musique classique plus tard (chez Angel Records EMI), elle n'a que 25 ans et est déjà une habituée des salles prestigieuses telles le Carnegie Hall de New York et Le Barbican de Londres. Elle s'oriente ensuite vers des ambiances plus telluriques, des textures plus profondes avec l'album Rise (2005), animée par le désir de « créer une musique qui puisse pleinement représenter qui je suis ». Composée et réalisée par ses soins, la musique de Rise est infusée de sons électroniques créés avec Gaurav Raina de MIDIval Punditz, un « moyen de raconter mon histoire avec mon père : grandir sur trois continents avec un pied dans le passé et un autre dans le présent ».L'album suivant Breathing Underwater, réalisé en collaboration avec le multi-instrumentiste Karsh Kale, entrevoit un univers sonore où les ragas, les paysages analogues lumineux, les nappes électro contemplatives et les incursions de Ravi Shankar, Sting et de sa demi-sœur Norah Jones, s'imbriquent harmonieusement sans jamais donner l'impression de ne pas être à leur place.La signature chez Deutsche Grammophon en 2011 est le point de départ d'une décennie marquée par une créativité débridée. Le temps de quatre albums, tous nommés aux Grammy Awards, des fils disparates sont tissés ensemble pour former une riche tapisserie où les thèmes se bousculent et les palettes sonores sont constamment élargies. Les intenses méditations sur l'amour et la perte de Traces Of You, réalisé par Nitin Sawhney, sont suivies de Home et le retour doucement triomphant des pures improvisations raga.La relation historique entre la musique classique indienne et le flamenco espagnol est au cœur de Traveller, réalisé par Javier Limón, alors que l'actuelle crise internationale touchant les réfugiés est à la source du cri de ralliement de Land Of Gold. Land Of Gold cristallise parfaitement le son d'Anoushka : le sitar dé-exotisée résonne autour de l'instrumentation imprévisible en défiant les frontières des genres.En 2022, Anoushka rejoint Leiter, le label fondé par Nils Frahm et son manager Felix Grimm, et sort l'album live, Between Us qui est nommé dans la catégorie Meilleur Album de Musiques du Monde aux Grammy Awards, et Anoushka reçoit une nomination dans la catégorie Meilleure Prestation de Musiques du Monde pour sa collaboration avec Arook Aftab, sur Udhero Na extrait de l'édition Deluxe de Vulture Prince du chanteur et compositeur pakistanais.Elle collabore avec des artistes aussi divers que Herbie Hancock, Patti Smith, Joshua Bell, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Jules Buckley Anoushka considère que son plus grand défi musical reste ses premiers pas dans la composition pour le cinéma: avec la réalisation d'une bande originale de Shiraz, l'un des premiers grands films muets indiens restauré par l'Institut du Film Britannique, et sa performance lors des projections. Plus récemment, elle compose la bande originale de A Suitable Boy (« Un Garçon Convenable ») de Mira Nair.Avec sa musique, Anoushka évoque aussi bien les instants intemporels du passé que l'urgence du futur, ce qui la pousse à nourrir son travail d'un engagement sans relâche. S'exprimant ouvertement à propos de ses expériences en tant que femme et ancienne victime de maltraitance dans son enfance, elle met sa notoriété au profit de campagnes telle que le One Billion Rising. Elle est fréquemment associée aux initiatives du Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les Réfugiés (UNHCR) et de Help Refugees afin de récolter des fonds et sensibiliser les gens à la crise des réfugiés. En 2020, elle est investie première présidente de la F-List: une base de données britannique créée afin de combler l'écart entre les sexes dans l'industrie musicale. Elle est également ambassadrice de The Walk, un projet artistique international de soutien aux réfugiés. Tout cela ne fait que témoigner de la singularité d'une artiste qui parvient à mener plusieurs vies en une. Titres interprétés au grand studio- In The End Live RFI (issu de l'EP Chapter II) + RFI Vidéos- Extrait Raga Anandi Kalya avec son père  Ravi Shankar voir clip- Daydreaming Feat.

In this edition of arts24, Jennifer Ben Brahim meets nine-time Grammy-nominated musician Anoushka Shankar. She's a masterful sitarist and film composer as well as an impassioned activist, and has worked with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Patti Smith and even the Dalai Lama. Her love of composing beautiful blends of classical Indian music with contemporary sounds stems from growing up in a musical household. Her father was sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and her half-sister is Norah Jones. Anoushka is heading out on tour around Europe with the second instalment of her musical trilogy, "Chapter II: How Dark it is Before Dawn".

Featuring the greasy NYC meets Miami funk of the Scone Cash Players; the elegant piano trio stylings of Bill Mays; a long-running collaborative trio comprised of Ben Allison, Steve Cardenas, and Ted Nash; the king of kings, Ron Miles; new age wonder courtesy of Anoushka Shankar; an Ella Fitzgerald live gem from the Verve vault; drummer/composer/legend Ches Smith; and finally, a piece fo NOLA history, Mr James Booker. 0

Nach ihrem sehr erfolgreichen Debütalbum "Come Away With Me", für das die Sängerin und Pianistin Norah Jones fünf Grammy-Auszeichnungen bekommen hatte, hat sie 2004 ihr zweites Album "Feels Like Home" rausgebracht. Die Erwartungen an die Platte waren da natürlich sehr hoch. Das zweite Album ist für Künstler oft das schwierigste. Vor allem, wenn das erste Album so erfolgreich war wie "Come Away With Me" von Norah Jones. Mit dem zweiten Album müssen Künstler oft beweisen, dass sie die Aufmerksamkeit wirklich verdient haben und, dass sie gekommen sind, um zu bleiben. Sie haben damit aber auch die Chance, sich als seriöse und erfolgreiche Künstler zu etablieren. Das hat Norah Jones definitiv geschafft. Ihr zweites Album ist mit etwas unter 10 Millionen Einheiten zwar nicht ganz so oft über die Ladentheke gegangen wie ihr Debütalbum, aber dennoch: Platz 1 in Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz, England und Amerika – inklusive mehrfacher Platinauszeichnung in allen diesen Ländern. Alleine die Zahlen sprechen schon dafür, dass es sich bei "Feels Like Home" um einen Meilenstein der Popgeschichte handelt. Für SWR1 Redakteurin Nina Waßmundt gibt es aber noch andere Gründe, warum die Platte das Prädikat "Meilenstein" verdient hat: "Weil Norah Jones auf diesem Album einen ganz einzigartigen Musikstil aus Pop, Jazz und Country erschafft [...] und Norah Jones lässt diese beiden (Jazz und Country) wirklich ureigenen, amerikanischen Musikrichtungen verschmelzen. Der perfekte Soundtrack für einen gemütlichen Sonntag", sagt SWR1 Musikredakteurin Nina Waßmundt. Nicht nur von den Musikstilen her schafft Norah Jones es auf ihrem Album "Feels Like Home" Dinge hervorragend zu verschmelzen. Das klappt auch ganz hervorragend auf der emotionalen Ebene. Ein Mix, den man so wirklich nicht oft findet in der Musikwelt. "Es ist auch irgendwo zwischen melancholisch und gut gelaunt. Es ist etwas, das man selten hat. Es ist nicht traurig, aber trotzdem sehr melancholisch und es fühlt sich kuschelig an, also "Feels Like Home" ist wirklich eine Ansage, die so funktioniert. Es ist einfach der perfekte Soundtrack für einen gemütlichen Sonntag", meint SWR1-Musikredakteurin Nina Waßmundt im Meilensteine Podcast. Dass Sängerin und Pianistin Norah Jones eine echte Künstlernatur ist und das kreative Chaos liebt und lebt, das kann man schon an ihrer Wohnung sehen. Damit die Wege zwischen Familie, Alltag und Musik schön kurz bleiben, steht das Klavier bei Norah Jones an einem sehr ungewöhnlichen Ort: in der Küche. Aber auch die Art wie Norah Jones Texte, Zeilen und Notizen für ihre Songs macht, zeigt ihren künstlerischen, verträumten und leicht chaotischen Geist, denn ihre Gedanken muss sie, wie sie selbst sagt in einem "unordentlichen Notizbuch" handschriftlich notieren. Und wenn man ihre Musik hört, glaubt man ihr das sofort. Da findet sich keine Hektik, sondern ein liebevolles, ausgeruhtes kleines Chaos. Und dass sie genau dieses Gefühl in ihrer Musik rüberbringen kann, liegt auch an einer Besonderheit von Norah Jones, wie SWR1-Musikredakteurin Katharina Heinius im Meilensteine Podcast erläutert: "Norah Jones hat einen ganz besonderen und einmaligen Ausdruck in ihrer Stimme. Die ist weich und zart auf der einen Seite aber auch sehr deutlich und prägnant auf der anderen Seite." Und während andere Sängerinnen gerne lauter werden und beim Singen mehr drücken, lehnt sich Norah Jones in ihrer Stimme zurück und behandelt sie wie ein Instrument und gibt auch den anderen Instrumenten Raum, ergänzt Nina Waßmundt. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist auch der romantische Song "What Am I To You?". Für SWR1 Redakteurin Jessica Pfeiffer sticht Norah Jones aus der Masse der Popsängerinnen der 00er-Jahre heraus, weil für sie die Motivation, Musik zu machen, offenbar eine ganz andere ist. Während viele Künstlerinnen nach dem großen Erfolg und der großen Bühne streben, ist es bei Norah Jones eher die pure Leidenschaft zur Musik, die sie antreibt: "Das hört man aus ihren Liedern raus, das hört man aus ihrer Stimme raus." Neben den klassischen, ruhigen Norah Jones Nummern, in denen vor allem ruhige Emotionen im Fokus stehen, gibt es auch Songs, die etwas Schwung reinbringen und zumindest auf den ersten Moment wie ein Fremdkörper auf dem Album wirken. Dazu würde auch der Song "Creepin' In" passen, den Norah Jones mit Countrylegende Dolly Parton singt. Bei einem näheren Blick wird aber schnell klar, dass auch diese Nummer perfekt auf dieses Album passt. Zum einen bringt die schnellere, beschwingtere Nummer etwas Dynamik auf das ruhige Album und zum anderen ergänzen sich die tiefe, ruhige Stimme von Norah Jones und die deutliche höhere von Dolly Parton ganz wunderbar. Außerdem passt diese Country bzw. Bluegrass Nummer auf das Album, weil Norah Jones selbst aus Texas kommt und wenn ihr Album schon "Feels Like Home" heißt, dann darf auf der Platte einer Texanerin auch keine Countrynummer fehlen. Auf ihrem Album "Feels Like Home" präsentiert Norah Jones aber nicht nur ihre eigenen Songs, sondern auch einige Coverversionen von großen Country- und Jazz-Stars wie Townes von Zandt oder auch Duke Ellington. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album “Feels Like Home” wird im Podcast gesprochen (11:42) – "Sunrise" (18:42) – "What Am I To You?" (25:14) – "Creepin' In" (34:01) – "Be Here to Love Me" (42:50) – "Don't Miss You at All" __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen (00:58) – "Come Away With Me" von Norah Jones (06:30) – "White Flag" von Dido (07:00) – "Music is the Key" von Sarah Connor (07:22) – "All the Things She Said" von T.A.T.u.

On the show this time, it's the avant-garde sitar of Anoushka Shankar. Anoushka Shankar is a master musician, as well as being a composer and producer. She studied with her famous father - Ravi Shankar - who had a smaller instrument made for his 7 year old daughter. She made her professional debut at thirteen, and over the years she has reinvented sitar music, playing with musicians from various genres, cultures and geographies, looking for new situations and contexts to use its inimitable voice. As she puts it, she “de-exotified” the Sitar. Flamenco, hip hop, jazz, and cinematic scores are all fair game. Her latest record, the first of a trilogy is called 'Chapter 1: FOREVER, FOR NOW.' Featuring production and collaboration from Arooj Aftab and Nils Frahm. It is available through Leiter, and on streaming services. Recorded 10/17/2023.

This week, the Maternity Safety Alliance group has called for a full statutory public inquiry into maternity safety in England. They joined Jess to explain why they're calling for this inquiry as did Presenter Krupa Padhy, who has produced a documentary on Radio 4 which investigates this issue. Writer and comedian Alison Larkin avoided love most of her adult life but in her 50s, she found true love for the first time with an Indian climate scientist. Then he died. Alison joins Krupa to tell her all about her new show based on this experience, Grief…Comedy at the Soho Theatre. British sprinter Bianca Williams has had lots of success in Athletics competitions for almost a decade but in recent weeks it has been an investigation into an incident which happened three years ago that has put her back into the news. She joins Krupa to discuss her stop and search ordeal. Singer-songwriter and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson has collaborated with a prestigious range of artists from Andrea Bocelli to Anoushka Shankar. She has now joined forces with London Symphony Orchestra Percussion Ensemble to create a new album, Ocean Floor. She joins Anita to discuss it. Have you ever played poker? Did you think about how playing it could influence your life decisions? Science writer and poker player Alex O'Brien has written a new book, The Truth Detective, which explores how the game's rules and strategies help us to better navigate the world and make better choices. She spoke to Jess about the life lessons she's learned from playing – and why she's teaching her daughter. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Claire Fox

David Fleming speaks with Anoushka Shankar. The initial conversation was when she was in the area to perform, with orchestra, one of the concertos for sitar and orchestra written by her father, the late Ravi Shankar. Beyond the concerto works, we spoke about some of her other releases, as she'll be in the area quite soon in quintet form. A rather atypical grouping, though SO nice! We'll hear about this, a couple of her releases, "Rise" and "Breathing Underwater." We'll also hear about her work with Herbie Hancock, Sting, and more, as well as a VERY moving piece called "In Her Name," combining music, dance, and spoken word. Originally called "In Jyoti's Name," the piece is "in loving memory of Jyoti Singh Pandey, who was beaten and gang-raped on a bus in Delhi," leading to her death two days later. VERY powerful! Also touching lightly on Anoushka scoring one of India's first three movies ever made!

Featuring music from the latest issue of Songlines Magazine, a feature on Anoushka Shankar - who played an amazing concert at The Chan Centre last week - and Spanish flamenco guitarist Juan Martín - who plays his first Vancouver concert in many a year next week. Plus a bit of nostalgia from CS&N - &Y, The Byrds, and Della Mae, and heaps of new music - much of it Celtic, from all across this country.

Anoushka Shankar, Arooj Aftab, Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Nadine Shah talk about the role of spirituality in their music, what their sound gives the audience, and share thoughts on being women of colour in the music industry. Born in the UK, Anoushka Shankar spent her younger years in London and Delhi before moving to California. She began learning the sitar aged 9 with her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, and made her professional debut at 13. Since then has been nominated for nine Grammys, played everywhere from the Barbican to Carnegie Hall, and worked with a wide range of artists including Herbie Hancock, Patti Smith, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Jules Buckley and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Her latest project, a mini-album titled Chapter I: Forever, For Now, comes out in October. Arooj Aftab is a Grammy award winning Pakistani-American singer, composer, and producer whose musical styles cover everything from jazz to minimalism. She's performed at Coachella, Glastonbury, and the Montreal Jazz Festival, and is also an Emmy winning documentary editor. She also produced Anouska's latest album. Lisa-Kaindé Diaz is one-half of multilingual French-Cuban duo Ibeyi, whose work fuses jazz with beats, samples, and traditional instruments. They've released three studio LPs, appeared on Beyoncé's groundbreaking visual album Lemonade, and have collaborated with Chilly Gonzales, Kamasi Washington and Jorja Smith. Nadine Shah is a Mercury Prize-nominated British singer-songwriter who has performed at Glastonbury and London's Barbican. She's supported Patti Smith, Depeche Mode and Suede, recently made her acting debut in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and is currently working on her fifth album.

Masaba Gupta talks to the sitar maestro Anoushka Shankar about her long and storied career in music, including the thrill of performing live--especially after the pandemic. She also describes what she considers the secret sauce of collaborating with great artists. and recounts a memorable moment and lesson from “Uncle George”, a.k.a The Beatles' George Harrison.

It's been almost seventy years since the arrival of Indian classical music in Europe and the United States. Starting in 1956, English violinist YEHUDI MENUHIN's interest in Indian music led to collaborations and concert tours with two of the then hottest young musicians in India—sitar master RAVI SHANKAR and sarod master ALI AKBAR KHAN. It was the beginning of a period of cross-fertilization of Indian and Western classical music. And in the 1960's, the famous adoption of the Indian sitar by GEORGE HARRISON of THE BEATLES brought awareness of Indian music to the mainstream. Today, recordings, films, videos, and digital networks have led to a broadening of cultural communication, where influence and interaction occur across many genres simultaneously. Western musicians study Indian microtonal scales, play Indian instruments, and create new hybrid styles—while Indian musicians study western tempered scales, harmony, and orchestration, play electronic instruments, and extend the traditions of Indian music to an international audience. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, contemporary, traditional, and sacred sounds of India, on a program called INDIA NAVIGATION 2. Music is by sitarists JASDEEP SINGH DEGUN, ANOUSHKA SHANKAR, and NILADRI KUMAR, bansuri flutists MARK SEELIG and VIRGINIA NICOLI, sarod and santur by CHINMAYA DUNSTER, and producer CRAIG PRUESS and the great devotional singer ANURADHA PAUDWAL.

Turkish-German singer and composer Alev Lenz, who splits time between London and Germany, has had something of a hit tune with “Fall Into Me”, a song used in the series Black Mirror. That song has had a few versions, including one recorded by vocal octet Roomful of Teeth, and another as a work called “Splendid Soldiers.” Her dark (only sometimes) and thoughtful compositions and collaborations are often finding their places in films and limited series, as in the films Im Nachtlicht and Downhill, and the series Dark. Alev Lenz has been something of a serial collaborator, working with sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar, Lisel (Eliza Bagg), Sand Dunes, synthesist and producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, French-Cuban vocal duo Ibeyi, and the aforementioned Roomful of Teeth, to name a few. During the interview, Lenz describes her creative process, and when the words might come in, and shares her experiences in the world of “sync”, when composers license their music to film and streaming series. Plus, hear Alev Lenz and pianist Vana Gierig, recorded in the studio. Set list: "Cigarettes and Blow", "Fall Into Me", "Ivory Tower" Watch "Ivory Tower": Watch "Fall Into Me":

Anoushka Shankar is a respected sitarist and composer who has just received two Grammy nominations for her new live album Between Us. She joins Anita to talk about the her new song, In Her Name, in memory of the young girl from Delhi, referred to as Nirbhaya, who 10 years ago was gang raped on a bus and was subjected to an attack so badly that she died from her injuries. The incident sent shockwaves across the world and led to the introduction of new anti-rape laws in India. An estimated half of all women will suffer from a urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime – so why has testing been such an inexact science until now? Some patients have their infections missed entirely, or, on the flipside, they receive unnecessary or incorrect antibiotics which may leave them host to an antibiotic resistant strain. But a new test could be about to change that. Dr Emma Hayhurst is part of a team of scientists developing a new test for UTIs that could provide a diagnosis in just 40 minutes. She joins Anita, along with Dr Agnes Arnold-Forster, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who last year executive produced a documentary film on the experience of living with a chronic UTI. Why is social media obsessed with nurseries and toys in neutral, muted colours? Anita speaks to the writer and librarian Hayley DeRoche, who coined the term ‘sad beige clothes for sad beige children'. She tells us about her viral videos which skewer the beige aesthetic. And journalist Martha Alexander explains why she has resigned herself to a life of multicolour with her daughter. Presented by Anita Rani Producer: Louise Corley
