Anoushka Shankar to visit India

Six-time Grammy Award-nominated sitarist, composer and producer Anoushka Shankar will be embarking on her worldwide tour and will be in India this February. She will be performing in Mumbai and Delhi.
This tour will mark her grand homecoming to the Indian sub-continent after more than 2 years. With a flair of demonstrating the versatility of the sitar, the sitar virtuoso will embark on a two-city tour, performing her songs from her brand-new EP “Love Letters”, a compilation of songs written across 2018-2019, which will release just before the tour in February 2020.She is known for seamlessly merging classical with contemporary, East with West.
The accolades she has amassed over her twenty-year career extend beyond her contributions to music and into the realm of activism, championing feminist and humanitarian causes. In 2013, in response to the horrific gang rape of Jyoti Singh Pandey in New Delhi, Anoushka teamed up with the One Billion Rising campaign, courageously sharing her experience as a survivor of sexual abuse. In 2017 she narrated Stolen Innocence, a documentary film about human trafficking and in 2019, she went viral after posting about her recent hysterectomy, sparking a dialogue around the silence and shame that historically surround women and girls’ reproductive health.
