Bless you and your hands and musical soul for this truly wonderful musical creation.
You helped me earn a PhD. You have no idea how much your music helps me. Thank you!😊
@Anoushka Shankar: I chanced upon to go through your comment only on last night (5th Nov) and as I understand you are critical about not having given due credit to other artists in show, and it is not about my views on Fusion Music. I must make one thing clear here I never meant it that way. They're extremely talented artists by their own virtues and skills, acquired over the years of learning and practice. If I did it in any way, I tender my apology to them and you as well for hurting their pride and sentiment. But again, it is Anoushka Shankar who is driving and motivating force behind the Team Anoushka, as I date call it. The title in UA-cam also suggests the same. However, I stand firmly by my views on Fusion and the album Love Letter is a wonderful expression of creative fusion.
P. S: Brother's Day is being celebrated today (6th Nov) here in West Bengal. I observe this day as Sister's Day and have celebrated the day with my elder sister (Didi) and the younger one (Bone) following the same rituals as a sister follows for her brother. I have also followed same rituals with you and the other artists (sans Prasanna for obvious reason for being bro) by freezing a frame from the video where everybody is visible. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps, there has been an undercurrent of sense of guilt playing in my psyche since last night I went through your comment that keeps haunting me. Perhaps I did it as mark of respect, love and care for the every team member. Plz convey my best wishes to them.
Oh Much LOVE And THANKS TO ALL DEAR ONES💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 When all come together it is the CONVERGENCE OF ENERGIES THAT help US Become One With You and the MOMENT✨✨✨✨💖💖💖✨✨✨

If hundred musicians with hundred different instruments comes on a stage to play, Anoushka being with them will simply outstand and will have her presence felt individually even amongst 100 musicians. That is the power of her sitar and her talent. Supremely talented.
Beautiful
no, no, no, noooooo, it doesn't match I didn't like my pinion....
She was playing air sitar as a baby in her stroller. I said look she is a sitar player .Ravi then started to teach her.

Some of the world's very best & most beautiful music. So soulful.
Her genius dad would be proud of her, ever..that musical sense to blend the best of all genres to create the best music..wow, her dad was a classical perfectionist, but his girl has gone beyond what he could ever accept...she has a genius musical brain. God bless her
My thoughts exactly...The Shankar Legacy Continues...
God is one
We love god

Was a fan of your Dad for decades, but your material is so much more accessible to those of us from a Western musical background.
Anoushka is a goddess comparting with us humans some of her divinity.
Anoushka, today is Diwali here in India.. was missing my husband who passed away 6 years back .. Your concert made my night. Grateful and indebted for such soulful music..
Hello, my younger sister passed away on 13th November 2020 after 22 years of fighting with Lupus. She wholeheartedly praised Anoushka’s Sitar playing. You know, whenever I listen Anoushka, I see my sister! This’s one of the reasons I deliberately play AS’s cds 💿
@Smita Shendye let the new music ease your soul with all happiness and yes, look into new future, never forget past but donot sit regretting for it. Find a new soul which makes you happy and togetherness! God bless you.
May all who have endured such loss find comfort and grace in each and every moment.
I am in the same Situation and understand UA-cam Compostela!
O this Google translation.... understand you completely!
The Shankar legacy continues and evolves. Simply Beautiful.
I don't know who will carry on that legacy after her with that much level...🙌
Wow! So amazing to see Anoushka master the sitar. I don't think there is anyone on earth who can beat her, she is a true replica of her father. Love her dedication.
Love and respect from Afghanistan anoushka ❤
I'm a guy who loves to listen ethnic music from many countries (as China, Mongolia, Greece, Norway, Thailand, Japan, Kazakhstan,....) but the music of India.... Is the unique one (and mostly the music of the master Anoushka) which help me to relax, to feel happy, to evade the stress of this weird society, I don't know if I'm the unique but her play of "voice of the moon" make me stay in a feeling or situation of happiness and give me power for keep going in my life.... For that and many other things which I don't remember now I must tell you thank you master, I feel that musicians as you keep a part of the soul of society .... Because which human product bring the soul and feeling of a human most than music?
Only I suggest you and beg you for keep fighting in your career and if you and your children like keep your soul music in next generations ❤️😳
A lot of thanks from a fan of Spain, I wish you will have the reputation you deserve master 😌🙏
U r my and ur music heart touch ...I'm a part of a cell .. belove Anushaka Shankar
Belove it Anushakar Shankar..
Maa Sarawati's incarnation. Pranam
Absolutely.
Is there a better word than "brilliant" ?
It's just divine...beyond words and beyond this world
Yes...yes....very Divine and Eternal!
Ensueing myself.... 🙏🙏🙏
outstanding, sound from Good..
*Sometimes you will get tired of loving and being hurt.But that's what love is..You just need to take a break and start loving yourself first. 💖💖💝💝💗💔💔*
Боже, думал, включу фоном, в итоге не смог оторваться - это прекрасно! 🧡
33 year old man here. I'm not ashamed, I cried within the first ten minutes. This is beautiful
Had the privilege of discovering her a few days ago, absolutely incredible artist
Anoushka is revitalizing and reinventing Indian classical music with her superb mastery of sitar and blending new sounds admist an evolving audience and landscape, be it away from India. Anoushka remains an icon and a true musician, mother , sister, daughter and an admirable and modern citizen of the world ! She needs a standing ovation for the work she has done and is doing both inside and outside the music scene.
Anoushka, be proud and stand tall ! We are both in awe and admiration for your infinite and on going contribution to our society !

Land of Gold sung here is beautiful. It's not only a beautiful song, but it showcases a marvellous tonal quality and harmony. Credit to the composition and the singers. We should have more songs demonstrating the power of good song writing and vocals.
Land of Gold is one of my favourite albums and Traveller - the the flamenco marriage in it. I'm hooked on the performance in France. My 11 week old grandson is now enjoying Sitar after I introduced my daughter to Anoushka's music at a Glasgow performance. To think I started listening to Ravi in the 70s. Never dreamt of this. Thanks for making this available.
I am off looking for ALL this lady's albums! Heve not felt like this for ANY guitar player. Love to listen with eyes closed. BRAVO!
Saraswathi incarnate. A gorgeous legacy of Pandit Ravishankar❤️
Amazing beautiful music! Some divine! Rare taste for music! Bravo!
The mridangam was divine, took the Sitar to another level!
Music can heal you as No one else can.
Voice of the moon. I'm familiar with that song in a strange way.
That was a lovely concert.
There is something magical and soul feeding about her music.
Its not her Music. Its classical Indian music.
I know coz I have studied it for a decade.
She was feeded from childhood by the classical music inside her family and blssed by the Indian spiritualty😘😘 😅😅😅
Amazing
@@JessiOz2k07 Some of it is her music, not all of it. The second song for example, she said it was co-written with the pianist.
Don't be tricked out of your soul , Jesus is the only way to eternal life, other doctrines and disobedience lead to weeping and gnashing of teeth. He died for our sins even though his life was blameless. Read bible book Matthew on how to be saved in Jesus
Hypnotic bliss … Goddess Anoushka!!! 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Heaven is oozing out of her divine fingers!
She certainly is a CREDIT to her Father! Thanks for the beautiful Music, almost deaf man...
Probably one of the finest musician alive and will stay forever
Always in awe of the sensitivity, professionalism, and the beauty of Anoushka and her fellow musicians.
Thank you.
Bonsoir C est magnifique, une rencontre culturelle , complémentaire , qui fait évolue chaque instruments, voix, une symphonie digne des grands compositeurs .. merci de cet instant magique .😍
I am musician..that practices since young age.!! I just cant make it up..u are so talented! love!
One of the best. Truly blessed and honored to have attended one of your last concerts with your Dad. Your music is absolutely soulful. Here I am, a novice sitar player, attempting to play along with you. I’m happy to have hit a few matching notes :) keep up your exceptional music!
I am a big fan for the long time Anoushka !
Your Sitar make my soul so happy !
Thank you so much
God bless you
Bad ass! The intonation, expression, and the interaction between the sitar and cello was phenomenal! 👏👏👏
Jjjjjkjjkkjjkkk
Not sure what planet I just got back from after listening to this!! Wow!!! Anazing! Amazing!!
At 11:14 when all instruments join in unison. Ah, the goosebumps and extreme sensations within me cannot ever be described in words. All I did was join my palms in ultimate expression of gratitude and love to whatever is experiencing this magnificence within my body. Such beauty, such wonder. Thank you for this!
All the musicians? There are only three of them.
5 at 20 minutes.
@@jonathanedwards8696 It is still 'all' the 3 instruments.
@@jonathanedwards8696 Okay??
Marvelous and mystical music played with love and passion. If I could give a million thumbs up, I will. 👏
I was fortunate to be at the last concert your dad performed with you in Wash DC. You’ve gone on to integrate more western music and instruments and create something beyond what your legendary father gave you…it’s simply beautiful and beyond words. A deep Thank you ❤Anoushka for all you are and your masterful gift of the sounds of sitar you give to the world.
I feel so inspired listening and seeing her play as if she has embodied MAA SARASWATI..
Fusion music, as I see it, a celebration of freedom from conventionalism, a way of creative expression, an endeavor to reach out to the mass, making the classic form of art more understandable, pleasing, yet soothing and calming for our heart and mind. Anoushka Shankar has been doing this for a couple of years successfully and I must say quite commendably. The present compositions are beautifully crafted. This is what we call World Music.
This music is beyond amazing. Thank you very much Anoushka.
Es un concierto tan lleno de belleza y sensibilidad que no hay palabras que lo puedan definir.
This gathering is sooo incredibly beautiful.. the songs, the love, the compassion… the friendship.. the expression.. the meaning.. alll sooo deep.. “May your kind heart find a land of Gold…” .. and the instruments sooo beautiful 💛🧡♥️💜💙💚🐣🐾🐸🌼🐝🥁✨🕉️
Blissful and wonderful! Great musicians creating heavenly music. Anouska and Piashanna are amazing as always. The lyrics of Alev Lenz and vocals of Nicki Wells are real revelations. Nina Harries' and Danny Keane's bass and cello are real tight with the music and is haunting! Hope this beautiful collaboration continues.
if there is a heaven it is this music. This is what they listen there all the time
I can imagine the devotion, dedication and discipline ......And....HARDWORK......that goes into making SUCH FLAWLESS Continuity of elements in music that makes it so mesmerising end to end ! Thanks for the video so thoughtfully made and uploaded for listeners like me.
I write hearing her music, it puts me in a whole different zone, my soul enjoys the music at all times.
Anoushka Shankar is a true ambassador of world music. We, the audience, waft in the wind through the work of these incredible musicians.
Every note perfectly placed with respect to space and timing. That takes talent, discipline, a finely tuned ear and instincts.
36:29 one of my favourites. Land of Gold
This us one of her Masterpieces.
Hello from India 🇮🇳. Congrats 💐
When I listen to Anoushka's Sitar music I either want to meditate on it or dance for it!!! So Divine, grateful 🙏

The Spiritual strumming of the Satire brings the energies of its ancient meanings / sounds to all the songs carrying to us all the blessings of the vibrations to awaken that which it was meant to do for all to experience its magic to connect to our other life’s then and now💖💖NAMAST🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Merci infiniment.. Grâce et beauté... Musique et voix extraordinaires qui ouvrent nos cœurs à l'Amour.... 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 💖💖💖🌌🌌🌌🌌
Ce n'est plus de la musique mais de la magie ! Absolument merveilleux. Quel voyage...
Anushka is nothing but a goddess. She really looks like a goddess when she performs.
The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness.
It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly
Spectacular, so much here to unpack emotionally. Thanks for the artists who bring civility to the world.
Like Father like daughter. She plays uncompromisingly classism and tries experimentation within the bounds of classism. All cudos and I will pray God to bless all that she dserves and desires.
I have a picture of her in my room... simply she is devine...Her personality is so calm and energetic at the same time...❤🙏🫡
Such beautiful music, and Ms. Shankar is looking more beautiful than ever before! I wish one day soon, she will come to Montreux, a little town (where I live, and which "breathes" so much peace in this seemingly very troubled world) and perform 'live' as it will become, soon, a timeless concert.
"Those words" is very special... and the singing? No words to describe.
Anoushka Shankar, it's so easy to fall in love with your style of music, you play effortlessly sitting like a QUEEN. Love and Awe, nothing else!!
Прекрасный концерт!
Love this style of music. Can not get enough of it
Juste incroyable, je viens de tomber là dessus et je ne décroche pas! La dame là, elle impose son énergie et crée un genre d'hypnotisme enivrant qui est juste très très agréable! Avis aux amateurs! Enjoy!
This lady and her music🥺🥺is there a better bliss ?❤🥺❤️
It's the very first time I listen to this! It got me on tears! This music is beyond our comprehension 🥹
Great work as always!!
Nickie and Nina stunning vocals !! Outstanding !!!!!!!
Excellent performance by respected Madam " ANUSHKA SANKAR " and two other respected performers. Hearty regards to all co-artistic supporters in this concert. Thanks with love and respect. ♥️♥️♥️🙏♥️♥️♥️
Enrealidad entro en profundo contemplación y meditacion. Los aplausos me descolocan un poco. Increible cooperación gtandes artistas!
Une magnifique découverte,je me suis laissée emporter dès le 1 er morceau jusqu' au dernier. Un délice pour les yeux et les oreilles.
Des musicale habités et talentueux, des chanteuses d'une voix pure et exceptionnelle....merci pour ce moment ,merci
Im shock with the vocalist, this body just our vehicle more than culture and beyond, beautifully singing voice. and combine with the magic music just so healing.
This music is beyond amazing. Always mesmerised by its many moods, tempo`s and rhythms.
I open this vdo from my cheap laptop. But from the clapping at the beginning, the recording is superb! I am amazed at the quality of the recording that capture the awesome atmosphere & excellent music. Thank you again for sharing this excellent VDO.
Only the brave and strong spirits like her. Can expose the entire soul. The pain, anger and shame and create beauty.
I am a huge fan of Anushka Shankar .....listening to her since childhood .....such a sorted and poised artist . I really I could meet her once in my life 😍
Just loved the way Ma'am you played....just felt magical
Eksperymenty Anoushki są niesamowite!
Maravilloso y ensoñador sonido. Profundo y a veces suave como la seda. Muchas gracias Anoushka por semejante regalo para los oidos y el alma. 🎶❤
Listening to this on loop for a while now! Ironically, missed the live concert. Hope Anoushka Shankar goes on tour again with this album! Such beautiful music.
This is absolutely magnificent. Anoushka Shankar's talent is beyond words.
Je découvre Nicki Wells : incroyable. Jamais entendu une telle voix. Chez les hommes il y a Dhafer Youssef et au féminin il y a Nicki Wells !
Still watching the video... my experience so far after the first song. Amazing, brilliant, feelings and tears that reminds me something that I can't explain, and the elf girl is still sitting there really amazed and waiting for her time to sing. Greetings from Brazil.
Gosh! Pure magic. Superb performance by Anoushka and her companion musicians.
maravillosa música e instrumentos ancestrales que penetran
de magia mi alma!
Today’s generation would call this jamming - well this is the language of music, the instruments are talking among themselves.
Brilliant rendition and beautiful team work.Shall be happy to listen to Anoushka's presentation of a few Rabindrasangeet and bengali folk songs..thanks
Crap I missed the concert?! I had tickets for the Ravi Shankar 100th anniversary concert, which was cancelled due to you-know-what. Completely forgot to use the credit I have with Southbank Centre. Oh man this is utterly gut wrenching. I'll have to settle for watching it on UA-cam, but I'm so upset to have missed this. Stupid of me.
