Siblings can be the best of friends, or the best of rivals. It is never easy, particularly when they are in the same field. It might have taken them more than a decade to collaborate together, but their debut album, Taraana-The land of spice, brings violinists Ragini and Nandini Shankar together under the unifying presence of impressive western orchestration.
It started with a YouTube video, the sisters reveal. “In the pandemic, around May of 2020, British producer Nick Patrick reached out to us. He was working with the US-based company, Universal Music Group to create something in the Indian space,” Nandini shares.
