An Interview with Anoushka Shankar | Sound Tracks Quick Hits | PBS 

Her eyes are like a tiger's eyes, warm and mysterious, her personality open and beautiful, her grace feminine and natural, her music ageless, radiant and powerful

She is extraordinarily beautiful.

Between going from her eyes, to watching her lips, to her eyes and back to watching her mouth again, eyes, mouth, eyes.....can somebody tell me what she said? GOD she's beautiful!

Her accent is such a hybrid. It's a cross between English and a Southern Californian accent. I love it!

Flamenco music of Spain was actually begun by the Gypsi's/Romani people in Spain--as was the dancing. If you know your history, you should know that the Romani people originally came from India about 800-1000 years ago. So it is quite appropriate that an Indian musician would take this on and play it. It was also some of the most beautifully played music I've ever heard. Anoushka Shankar creates an entire story and novel when she plays--worlds come out of her Sitar. Beauty.

I personally apologize on behalf of today's youth that you and several other classical music artists feel that they have to compete with the "juggernaut" of popular Bollywood music. Where people of other nationalities appreciate Carnatic or Indian classical more widely than we do in our own country. I believe you are doing a wonderful job carrying on with your father's legacy. Keep doing what you do!

I'm in love. Such a beautifull, intelligent woman

Look at her eyes... Man i am drowning.....

She's such a radiant person and a great musician. I'll always be a fan.

Anoushka shines so brightly! I love her music and style of verbal communication.

what a beautiful person she is....

I was lucky enough to hear Anuoshka and the late Ravi live a few years ago. Great experience!

So rare and pleasing to hear / see an interview done by a very eloquent interviewer with interesting and well presented questions. Anoushka, musical talent aside, really distinguished herself here. Charming lady with intelligence, experience and the savvy to now conduct herself in a wonderful manner befitting her " first class gypsy" role. Well done, both of you ! ! !

A very eloquent lady.

I love her British accent with the strong American twang. She was born in London and moved to the states as a teenager, I believe.

She is a godess

What a beautiful lady. She carries the sounds of her father.

We send our deepest sympathies and condolences to Anoushka on the death of her father, Ravi, today at the age of 92. He was a brilliant musician, a giant of world music, and she is an extraordinary part of his legacy.

her music is her voice... which is amagingly melodious....

very stylish in the choice of words. devine.

An absolutely spectacular player - and ridiculously beautiful.

Breathtaking in every single sense of the world.

Her english is awesome. She is awesome speaker too....

Conversation sparked with intellect. I am a sucker for this!

Anoushka! Kurdish is very nice music too. Its full of happiness. Take your time here too.

Love her......she's an angel....nd comes with a llots of talant

This was a great interview. I love her music, especially the Traveller cd. She reminds me so much of her Father.

She is an angel

Her words are equivalent as her sitar performance.......awesome!!!

what an interview , really a treat!!!

Have always had great respect for her and her music :)

Lucky was her baby! Music will be to him, what war was to Abhimanyu!

She's a beauty.

Flamenco music is the music of the Gypsies of Spain. Gypsies are people from India who divided in two groups and traveled from India. One group went through North Africa and eventually arrived in Spain. The other group went to places such a Romania. Flamenco music has it's roots in India. Anoushka surely knows this. Funny she does not mention it.

I think the lady would be great actress, she is so entertaining, as well as fabulous musician.

Que hermosas son las hijas del Shankar.

Norah Jones' sister!! They both are talented and beautiful siblings!

Perfect mid-Atlantic accent... some words come out half-American half British.

What a beautiful person

What a beautiful human being, everything about her ... and what lineage!!

Just got into the album RISE, amazing....

I actually had that album of Ravi Sankar and coming from a purely classical and rock background, it was so different and I loved it!

What a fortunate kid to get the very best seat in the concert!

Heavenly beautiful Mr Andrew.

She has Fantabulous accent..There would be no exaggeration if we called her the female version of Tharoor. ;)

My thoughts precisely!!!

God bless you

Wow u r Amazing ... ur music always inspires me

If God really loved me, he will let me find a woman like this.

Any lady that can use the word "imbibing" in the proper context is a keeper in my books!

i'd like to see more of her and norah colab..

She has Angel. Very Special and sweet.

intiligent girl

Incredible insight.

We agree, Steve.

he had some hot daughters--not to mention talented.

The comments about fusion/crossover music seem to ring true. The idea of gypsies originating from India giving birth to styles like flamenco is longstanding. I remember thinking Juan Martin's Musica Alhambra album was of note for focusing on northern African as a link, but I can't remember the details now! Suffice to say: old world fusions can strike an interesting chord. And then for some people fantasies take over, like an American harpist imagining she's playing music of Hathor, but twas all made up in California, I think. Ah well. Sure if imagination eclipses authenticity it's no harm.

Her accent is so weird. It's hard to place. I know she grew up partly in England and America. Her pronunciations are slighty more British while her inflection, tones and rhythm are more american. Very interesting.

6:26 - Pause to view my same reaction to this intoxicating entity.

That guy is a Vampire!!

I prioud of anushka sankar she is godess

She's maybe even more beautiful than her music.

Perfect mid-Atlantic accent.

4:15- 4:30 . truth has been spoken. we are so much engrossed in bollywood and shitty music, that we are forgetting our roots and the purity of indian classical music

BEAUTY TALENT AND TRUTH TO THE ARY. SHE BECOMES ONE WITH THE SITARS AND THE MUSIC BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT SIMPLY READ IT AND SEE IT SHE BECOMES IT.

she so would!!!

After listening to Indian classical music... I have started hating Bollywood music.... n m happy about it...

Please help me to find out whats the name of song at 7:35 Just Amazing

she has a british, indian and an american accent all at the same time

my sister

Sitar is soul. Think on a Life story and use the Sam and Sam vadi noties and there is a dialoog

I think she's hotter than Norah Jones.😮

Indians already forgot her... she is no more....

SHALOM

This beautiful creature has a valley accent! Is that cool or what?

See you in Boom 2014 =)

I love your nose.....mam....

Norah's Sister...

is she bilingual?

Sai pallavi

she is my idea of a perfect woman, inteligent articulate sexy and beautiful. she is a Goddess.
