Nr. 56 – Anoushka Shankar

Anoushka Shankar is a young musician and composer with Indian origin trying to mix two musical cultures in her own music. With her album Anourag she was the youngest and the first female ever nominated for the category of World Music. I didn’t want this list to be a Cool By Association list which is why I’ve tried not to mention parents, relatives, husbands or partners in these descriptions. So if you’re curious of her in that matter you’ll have to look it up yourself, if it’s not obvious. Why is she cool? She’s got one foot in the east and one in west and somewhere in between she creates beautiful music.
