PERHAPS the greatest strength of the Edinburgh International Festival is the esteem in which it is held worldwide.This year that includes the celebrated sitar player and musician Anoushka Shankar.
Sitar legend Ravi Shankar w. 17-yr-old daughter & protoge Anoushka as they play their instruments at home Over time she realised that, although she “couldn’t live up to external ideas and expectations”, she “could always live up to my own truth. If there is truthful integrity in my work, I can feel proud of it.”
She hopes her 2011 album Traveller, which combines her Indian musical heritage with the rich flamenco music tradition of Andalusia, is an example of this. “Sometimes my instrument was the one completely travelling into the flamenco space”, she remembers. In her Edinburgh concert, Shankar promises a diverse set. It will include, she says, work from her forthcoming mini-album, titled Chapter 1: Forever, For Now, which has been produced by the acclaimed Pakistani-American singer, composer and producer Arooj Aftab.
