Considered one of the brightest young talents to spread the love of the sitar to the world, Anoushka Shankar will perform in Mumbai as part of a multi-city tour in India. The tour is in support of her new classical album, Home. While the tour might have crossover tones, it has pure classical roots. The artiste has already finished work on her next album, Land Of Gold, which will release in spring. She will start touring the United States, and we can expect to see her back in India by the end of 2016. "The new album is not classical. It’s more experimental — it highlights issues like feminism, intolerance and migration," she tells us over the phone from London.
