World Music Sampler #2



This clip is a little heavy on personality and light on music. I have been interested in Anoushka Shankar for years. She is a half sister of Norah Jones and the two are somewhat close, though they did not grow up together and their busy schedules do not allow a lot of time for family get-togethers. There are purists who are always ready to verbally attack people like Anoushka who use their personality and celebrity to bring the music to the World's attention. I personally think that popularizing a genre of music usually benefits all people involved in that genre, even the hyper-critical purists.
