Anoushka Shankar

British-American musician

Anoushka Shankar belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Anoushka Shankar as British-American musician.

Anoushka Shankar was born at London in 1981. Her recorded nationality is United Kingdom. She trained at San Dieguito High School Academy.

Streaming replaced the record industry's economics in this generation: reach became enormous and the income per listen very small.

She worked as composer, songwriter and actor.

The instruments recorded are sitar.

Her work is classed as blues and indian classical music.

Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.

That the work came out of United Kingdom shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.

Anoushka Shankar is still performing or recording, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
