Anoushka Shankar wants you to hear the sitar differently

When Anoushka Shankar was in Goa two years ago, she wrote down four words: "Three chapters, three geographies." That note has been the inspiration for a trilogy of mini-albums. With the release of the latest and final album, "Chapter III: We Return To Light," the acclaimed sitar player sits down with Tom Power to tell us what was driving her creatively, how she wants to change perceptions of her instrument, and how she navigates her career in the shadow cast by her famous father, Ravi Shankar.

Q with Tom Power is a daily conversation with the artists, writers, actors and musicians who define this cultural moment in time. The chat is informal, wide-ranging, playful, and allows the artist to explore their art and the contexts that have shaped them through their career.

Anoushka’s facial animation as she speaks draws one in and engages one into her ideas and her music. Thanks to both of you for this interview
