Can I just say hats off to the invisible heroes at KEXP that complement every single performance they host with their masterful sound engineering and camera work?

[@badspasm1]

I've been saying this for years. Kexp studios more times than not make the bands sound better live than the recording they put out for us to buy!!! Just saying I agree totally ❤ kexp. A staple of good music in the Pacific northwest!

[@tashijoe21]

And the fact there were no commercials

[@thesupersoundoftrieste]

I watch them...

[@thepaleking8054]

You have my permission

[@atmaminuzzamankislu1837]

❤❤

[@vedram7367]

In my 70s now I have enjoyed her father's music and now I'm lifted by Anouska's ....the legacy continues...Bless

[@SkyeRangerNick]

My boat is much the same as yours. 🤠

[@TheklaSuktalim]

Igualmente. 🙏 And also Hariprasad Chaurasia.

[@nowheredan27]

Sometimes you hear a piece of music and you go "oh yeah, that's what this whole being alive business is for after all". What a treat, thank you so much for this KEXP!

[@ashikaashokan8636]

Agreed

[@simranjitsinghkhalsacafe]

Full album name is land of gold i think

[@thirdvisiongarage9148]

The sitar is one of the coolest instruments ever created

[@uncleswan3896]

Anoushka Shankar is one of the most talented and beautiful women on the planet and a total strings shredder. Chills down my spine from her tones and skills. Chops of the masters. Just wow.

[@bradparker9080]

I went to high school with Anoushka. San Dieguito Academy. She was clearly dedicated and talented back then and has only gotten better. A pleasure seeing her career progress. She's genuinely great.

[@indrajitchakraborty4273]

Great ......forever music!

[@indrajitchakraborty4273]

It's eternal !

[@thskendjeo134]

She has utterly ruined the beauty of that instrument. It is not how it is supposed to be played. Her music is absolutely rubbish. Listen to Vilayat khan once and you will know what I mean here!!!

[@bradparker9080]

@thskendjeo134 You took time out of your day just to complain to strangers on the internet about music you dislike. You sound miserable. Go cry your river about how an instrument is "supposed to be played" elsewhere.

[@theostapel]

@@thskendjeo134 Do not agree - hope you can play ?? Restraint - is a mark of character. Fare thee well - on life's journey.

[@Vanzel1PapadoGR]

Her father, the first to bring this genuine musical instrument out of India and make it known, had come to my home country Greece dozens of times, and apart from solo performances, a large part of concerts have always been improvisations with Greek traditional instruments with great Greek traditional musicians....because in Greece, even though it is a small country, each apartment has its own,musical tradition...The result has always been excellent.

[@lobabobloblaw]

You know you’ve got a good thing when your band is all smiles and nods.

[@NeilBiswasT90]

Music has no boundaries. She is Indian but how she won the heart of world is truly mesmerising🎉❤

[@suzanneperlmutter6031]

Oh My! I am here, on a sunny day in Spain, with the mountains ablaze with Almond Tree Blossoms, terraced by the Moro's over 1000 years ago, and I am still struck by beauty. Beauty seems to be infinite and endless, like when you play your Sitar, in the fusion manner that you do. I am so blessed to be here, listening. Thank you, for sharing your gift, and to All your Relations, and Sponsors too!

[@jmccartney2007]

If you have never seen her live in person, you should. She always has a stellar band and puts on a brilliant performance. This was beautiful, thank you KEXP.

[@jonathanwalther]

Indeed! I saw her and her ensemle in Octobre 2022, when they were touring accompaning a silent film about the Taj Mahal. I cried tears of joy and admiration.

[@ramananmallika8230]

I am going to see her live in 2 in India days and I simply cannot wait!

[@TheBhimasur]

Just seen her show in Hyderabad India a while ago.... awesome....

[@mooo6747]

I saw her live... with her father. It was a concert to remember. It was in Merrillville, Indiana. He was just introducing her to the US -- she was astoundingly talented, and though she had more stamina than he did as he was already quite old by then, when he did play, he was absolute genius.

[@mountainair]

I saw her perform w her dad when he was in his final years. It was like a dream / trance

[@albrigo]

Anoushka inherited Pandit Shankar's talent and added her own huge talent to end up with this incredible music style

[@achenarmyst2156]

This appears to be a melting pot of musical styles, Indian, Arab, Jewish, South-East-European, modern Jazz and probably more. And it blends very well. Thank you.

[@frankstergaard4617]

Reminds me of 'Love letters'

[@MrArrten]

Exactly!

[@yoyota27]

So she stole everything

[@rabidL3M0NS]

@@yoyota27did you just steal the Latin alphabet?

[@Gabor...hachi.juu_ichi]

She is immense, majestic yet unassuming. The greatest contemporary virtuoso, we are lucky to witness and hear her magnificence. Kudos to KEXP to secure this performance 🙏

[@kingjsolomon]

Well worded summarizations guys, so grateful to share this existence alongside such profound beauty and transcending musical talent.

[@agnidas5816]

she is far from a virtuoso... so dang far...

[@marckalmanson5568]

@@agnidas5816 What does that mean ?

[@renakmans3521]

You are clueless about music. You might like her stuff but the greatest contemporary virtuoso? She’d laugh at that.

[@Gabor...hachi.juu_ichi]

@@renakmans3521 it's a pleasure to be clueless in life. It provides the joy of giving spontaneous compliments based on emotional impact instead of the banality of pragmatic analysis. I'd be happily laughed at for that any day 🙏

[@NestedRealities]

I've had the pleasure of seeing Anoushka live twice. She just keeps getting better everytime I hear her play.

[@David-lo1fo]

I'm in love with this woman 😅 She's so graceful in her playing. Beautiful 🥰

[@JanetGreen555]

I agree

[@ShubhamKainthola03]

❤ Finally the goddess pays a visit to KEXP KEXP is now officially blessed ❤

[@josetrinidadyahoo]

My god! Your audio engineers are top of the rank !!

[@srikanthnatarajan7101]

Pleasantly surprised to see the incredible Sarathy Korwar behind the kit. Go check out his jazz project!

[@hustler3of4culture3]

He's really good!

[@valeriecarruthers7084]

Her commanding presence…and that smile from deep within…there’s entire galaxies and gandharvas at play among Anoushka and her group. Celestial bliss! 🤩

[@jefflilyea4669]

My older brother was kinda obsessed with ravi Shankar's music in the 70's . He was a good guy.

[@Planet-Steel]

I can’t believe I only just found this, my soul is singing. What an amazing talented and uplifting soul - beautiful x❤

[@brianwolverton9834]

she's something special... the product of generations of musical and artistic pedigree but also very much her own person & her own artist

[@goborbobor4851]

Anoushka Shankar is a genius. But then again, so are the other musicians in this ensemble. Incredible, incredible artistry. I have a number of her albums, but to see all this played live is just unbelievable. Thank you for this!!

[@ChristopherLopez-dh9bd]

Saw Anoushka and the quintet in London! They were all amazing, that clarinettist though, so phenomenal! Especially in his solo! It was breath-taking.

[@azuredivina]

i'm so glad i got to see her live with her father several years ago. what a show. she's just phenomenal.

[@SupersnakeLivesTo100]

How lucky for you. I saw Ravi Shankar perform live 25 years ago and am so grateful to have seen this man while alive.

[@silaspatterson9858]

I had an album by Ravi Shankar I didn't want to give it back to the owner I LOVED IT THAT MUCH.

[@DrMusicStarr]

I saw them also together...❤ Unforgettable

[@paulwoerlen6328]

Anoushka Shankar is a master on sitar. Wonderful when she plays the slow parts with this deep impact on our heart & soul. Her smile is lovely and the other musicians are a top match. Thank you for the music.

[@Staceysprobablycrying]

Such a beautiful family full of love and talent. Blessings to Anoushka and the memories of her amazing father Ravi. ❤️

[@howardwhitehead2167]

Absolutely,wonderful.❤

[@mastrshake5800]

The smile on her face says it all. That's what pure joy looks like, and she's spreading it through her music. 😢🎉

[@danish6412]

A normal person cannot understand this

[@thesupersoundoftrieste]

Don t cry hurry up

[@RachelsSweetie]

Seen Anoushka twice, once with Ravi. Besides being an amazing musician, when she talked to the audience she was really down-to-Earth. I'd invite her over for dinner any day.

Goosebumps in the air.... if you want.

[@The-KP]

That was transcendent and uplifting. Love the connections made to jazz, too. And the clarinet made my day, not even aware where that line is improv is rooted in but it brought ancient Cairo to mind

[@matthieujoly]

I absolutely love their joy, playing together. This is what music is.

[@vaidyanathanshanker6524]

Tell you what…. when Anoushka plays, even the universe stops to listen.

[@rajsatya9635]

Thanks Anoushka for keeping your dads art and music nurtured and revived in modern world with many emerging challenges. Love the authenticity in recognizing refugees from conflicts and failed nations as gold mines . In fact a third of Nobel laurates are immigrants and some refugees . Hopefully will be able to attend your concert in future such an inspiration for current and next generation to stay authentic and open as well practice meditative state perpetually .

Certainly, it corresponds with your vibration number, and somtimes remembers to an other reïncarnation

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

I must admit I was stunned to see her use a looper. I always thought she kept her performances as natural sounding as possible. Her choice of course! In no way changes my admiration and appreciation of her music and mastery of the Sitar. Truly beautiful music.
