Four-time Grammy-nominated Anoushka Shankar, “one of the greatest sitar players in the world” (Rolling Stone), presents Home: a pure Indian classical album that showcases the meditative and virtuosic qualities of the Indian raga.

After several stunning experimental/crossover albums, including the Grammy-nominated recordings Rise, Traveller and Traces Of You, Anoushka returns to her classical roots, paying homage to the teachings of her father and guru Ravi Shankar. Home features two ragas, one of which is a creation of Ravi Shankar’s, and with them Anoushka shares an intimate, heartfelt live performance in the traditional style. Home is a paradigm of the Indian Classical genre, exemplifying the unique dichotomy between the ancient structure and in-the-moment improvisations. Home is self-produced by Anoushka, and on it she strove to record the ancient instruments at an unprecedented, “high-definition” quality, working with a team of experts to design a studio in her own home that would be uniquely suited to the timbre of her instrument. A beautifully penned treatise on Indian classical music written by Ravi Shankar in 1965 accompanies the album. With Home, Anoushka continues her journey exploring modern and fresh ways to reinterpret and keep alive the beautiful musical traditions of India. Ravi Shankar once said: “There is a saying in Sanskrit - "Ranjayathi iti Raga" - which means, "that which colours the mind is a raga.” With “Home” Anoushka does just that.
