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.

This week on Cultural Manifesto listen to a preview of an upcoming concert by the Grammy-winning Indian-American vocalist Falu. She'll be performing in Indianapolis this August with the American Patchwork Quartet. As a child in Mumbai, Falu studied North Indian classical music. Over the years she's worked with a wide range of artists - including Philip Glass, A.R. Rahman, Karsh Kale, Pretty Lights, and many others. Also hear new releases from Indianapolis musicians Hanna Benn and Jordan Munson.

Lush Lata's Wild City mix moves from thumping kicks-backed Sarod meanderings of 'Maharaj Trio and Nickodemus' to the booming hip-hop beat of 'Go Again' by A-STAR to cuts by Overomono, SBTRKT, Romare, Breaka and Fred Again alongside works by homegrown talents like Oceantied, Potter and Stain, while also slipping in Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Swarnalatha and Karsh Kale. With 40 tracks in less than an hour, the New Delhi selector's mixing moves quickly just like her trajectory as an artist. Starting as a member of the femme collective Coven Code and a staple figure of boxout.fm, Lush Lata has built her work over an embrace for Bollywood and the grooves most Indian kids grow up around while connecting it to her deep love for hip-hop and bass. The individual voice recently led her to be featured at Berlin's CTM Festival this year with a talk, DJ-ing workshop and a performance at the Panorama Bar of the dance music's most iconic club The Berghain. "I am way more open to new sounds and musical experiences than before. Also, they love what's going on in India right now," says Lush Lata, recounting her time in Berlin which she also does by ending her mix with Shy FX and T-Power's 'Shake Ur Body (feat. D.I.)', a track that she describes as "the tune that took my night at Berghain to another level when I heard it on the dancefloor in DJ Voilet's set at CTM festival."

Last week the University of Nevada Reno was lucky enough to host two incredible musicians for master classes and performances, Priya Darshini and Max ZT. Despite a very full schedule, they were gracious enough to squeeze in an hour for the wonderful conversation you are about to hear! Priya has collaborated with a wide range of artists from Pearl Jam; GRAMMY® Award winners Roy “Futureman” Wooten; Jeff Coffin, Philip Lassiter, Silk Road Ensemble's Shane Shanahan; virtuoso ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro, Dave Eggar, Karsh Kale, House of Waters, and many more. In 2020, Priya released her sophomore solo album – Periphery –and was nominated for the 63rd Annual GRAMMY® Award for Best New Age Album. Based out of Brooklyn, New York Priya has sung for over a hundred television and radio commercials, as well as recorded for several award-winning and chart-topping  movie sound tracks.

House Of Waters have toured throughout the world including Europe and India, and their latest release is their 2019 album Rising, produced by GRAMMY-winner Guy Eckstine (Herbie Hancock). Max and Priya both ascribe to a mindful approach to their musical creativity and performance. We discus their musical training and how important one's point of view can be to success, and how to handle challenging surges of emotion or thoughts during a performance, and much more!. Their insights into the philosophy of a musical life are refreshing and inspiring, and I am sure you will enjoy this conversation very much!  Links and Contact Max ZT Website: www.maxzt.comAlbums available here and on all streaming sourcesInstagram: www.instagram.com/maxzt Priya Darshini Website: www.priyadarshini.comAlbums available here and on all streaming sourcesInstagram: www.instagram.com/priyism

Brooklyn-based musician Max ZT has been called the “Hendrix of Hammered Dulcimer” and is widely regarded as one of the instrument's most prolific and innovative performers. In this episode, he joins Alex to explain the origin and design of the instrument, which he describes as the predecessor to the piano, and demystifies how to play it with some detailed examples. Max tells Alex about discovering the instrument at an early age, and the two discuss the importance of being present and judgment-free when playing. You'll also hear clips from the jam session that happened during the recording.Taking his roots from Irish and American folk music, Max has transplanted his compositional techniques to both Senegal, where he studied the Mandinko technique with the Cissoko griot family, and to India, where he received the prestigious American Institute of Indian Studies Fellowship grant to study under the world-renowned santoor master Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. His fresh perspective and bold experimentalism have been the backbone to beautiful, complex, and genuine compositions, while his unorthodox playing style has been a pioneering force in revolutionizing dulcimer techniques.Max ZT and his band House of Waters have been called “One of the most original bands on the planet,” by NY Music Daily, and have shared the stage with some of the most influential international musical leaders of the century including Pt. Ravi Shankar, Tinariwen, Jon Bon Jovi, Jimmy Cliff, Bela Fleck, Karsh Kale, Snarky Puppy, and more. Max's debut solo album Daybreak will be released on April 8.

Whether he's melding hip-hop and jazz with legends like Masta Ace and Donny McCaslin, playing upright bass at the Newport Jazz Festival with Dred Scott Trio, remixing Karsh Kale or WuTang's Killah Priest, rockin' on electric bass with Marshall Crenshaw, or producing Peter Bernstein solo jazz guitar, Grammy-nominated producer/(re)mixer/bassist/composer Ben Rubin (aka Benny Cha Cha) is renowned for making records that are pure or genre-bending or both. Picked seven times as a “Rising Star Producer” in DownBeat Magazine's International Critics' Poll, Rubin has well over 100 album credits to his name. Lately, he has been working with a diversity of artists including Queen Esther, Erik Deutsch & Theo Bleckmann, Steve Conte (New York Dolls), Stripmall Ballads, Rachel Eckroth (St Vincent), Lower Power, Caleb Wheeler Curtis, Drifter feat.

My guest today is the great guitarist/instructor Chris Buono. I met Chris in 2003 through our mutual friend David Fiuczynski while doing a thing at Berklee College of Music. Chris and I have played music together a lot - a good bit of that music has been with the great drummer Tobias Ralph. I've also played bass on many of Chris’s TrueFire courses including an in-depth interactive course along with Keith Carlock called In The Jam: NYC Funk.In addition to being a kick ass guitar player who’s played with people like Dweezil Zappa, Bumblefoot, Graham Haynes, Karsh Kale, Snarky Puppy, etc., Chris is one helluva guitar instructor. Former students include Bob Lanzetti, Rob Compa, Ben Levin, Aurelien Budynek and Harvey Valdes to name a few. He has over 40 courses through TrueFire, he’s been a contributing writer for Guitar One, Just Jazz Guitar and currently Guitar Player magazine and makes instructional content for Guitarinstructor.com. Chris was also a member of the Guitar Department at Berklee College of Music for a time and has several books published by Alfred & Hal Leonard.We had a great chat back in June where our conversation begins talking about the new challenges in hustling brought on by this pandemic. Be sure to stick around at the end for our thoughts on our mutual hero, Eddie Van Halen.

TASNNEEM (Bengaluru, INDIA) Drawing influences from some of the world’s finest musical legends, Tasnneem has always managed to blend in sounds, melodies and tunes that speak the loudest to her in all of her sets.Having grown up listening to a wide range of music, from the inimitable legends such as Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles and Chuck Berry to classical Indian maestros like Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia,Pandit and the more contemporary acts like Niladri Kumar and Karsh Kale, she’s always looking for new, and innovative ways to take elements that are signature to all her inspirations and incorporates them into her sound. Her sets are an echo of her personality — groovy, exotic and edgy yet soulful and melodious. Playing an eclectic mix of Jazz, Funk, Nu-Disco, Deep House and Techno, she has always managed to translate her love for music as a means of escape into a sound that would have the same effect on her audience, yet get them to dance their feet off on the dance floor.Having played alongside some of the renowned artists like Lost Desert, Modd, Soul Button, Donatello and Marc Romboy, her DJing has ensured that she has carved a place for herself in India’s electronic music scene.

Chris is also the ultimate “slash”, which we'll get into later. While on the topic of Slashes, we also reminisce about how Chris, Jay and the former guitarist for Guns N Roses (No, the other one), Bumblefoot shared laughs & Thai food during a photoshoot at Jay's old beach house in Belmar.

Indian American musician Sheela Bringi has been exploring the connections between her ancestral and actual homelands her entire life. The singer and instrumentalist plays the harp, harmonium and bansuri (Indian classical bamboo flute). As a young woman Bringi was influenced by M.I.A. and Dead Can Dance, studied with Cecil Taylor and Meredith Monk, while at the same time deepened her studies with Indian classical masters like Pandit G.S. Sachdev and Ustaad Aashish Khan. This unique background has resulted in her debut album, Incantations (Black Swan Sounds), rooted in India’s classical music tradition and the beauty of its mantras, as well as a groundbreaking exploration of American jazz and blues. The album was released in 2014 and garnered praise from National Public Radio, the Guardian, Public Radio International and more, and debuted at #9 on the iTunes World Music chart. She has performed in a wide range of venues, including concert halls and universities presenting traditional material, yoga studios leading kirtans and in dance clubs overtop throbbing, bass-heavy beats (she’s toured with Karsh Kale, DJ Drez, and many others). In 2016 she was an instrumental soloist on Madi Das’ GRAMMY-nominated album, Bhakti Without Borders. shebrings.com eastforest.org

Tasnneem (Bangalore, India) Drawing influences from a plethora of some of the world’s finest musical legends, Tasnneem has always managed to blend in sounds, melodies and tunes that speak the loudest to her in all of her sets. Having grown up listening to a wide range of music, from the inimitable legends such as Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles and Chuck Berry to classical Indian maestros like Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pandit and the more contemporary acts like Niladri Kumar and Karsh Kale, she’s always looking for new, and innovative ways to take elements that are signature to all her inspirations and incorporate them into her sound.

One of India's longest running and most prolific stage names; Gaurav Raina - as one half of the Midival Punditz - is a familiar name for music lovers and peers alike. In a step in a new direction, his solo project 'GRAIN', showcases a musician within a musician. Sonic textures that are deeper, darker – even melancholic – zigzagging through genres with confidence. In our eyes, some of his most technically adept and exciting output thus far. ‘Grey to Silver’ is GRAIN’s debut LP out this month via Times Music. Featuring collaborations with the likes of Karsh Kale, Monica Dogra, Anoushka Shankar, Ankur Tewari, Brooklyn Shanti and Talia Bentson - it doesn’t disappoint. Like something created by any of the worlds longest standing producers, Grey To Silver will want you to pat yourself on the back for sticking with it. It's beautiful, ugly and also a little bit weird. And in that vain so is his Wild City mix. In an unexpected turn from the producer it includes tracks from acts such as The Bug, Darkside, Atoms For Peace and Zola Jesus. One more of these forms of output that reveals more and more about its creator over time. An inspiring example of how, free of pressure, Raina has blossomed into something definite, yet at his own pace.
