This week, Ravi Shankar would have celebrated his hundredth birthday and to mark the occasion, his daughter, Anoushka Shankar has made two new music videos. Plus newly authorised biography ‘Indian Sun’ and a new album of some of his unreleased material.
Too often tributes such as this can fall flat, but on this occasion the obvious respect and love shown by all concerned to the memory and musical acumen of Jack Bruce is well-documented.
An eclectic and global punchy kick-ass mix this week shaped very much by a few double helpings from the likes of Jiggy, Trad.Attack!, TootArd, as well as some top tunes from Eliza Carthy, Martyn Bennett and more.
Nitin Sawhney has released a new album titled Last Days of Meaning. Nitin has managed to rack up a Mercury, Ivor, Mobo and Olivier awards for his past work and Last Days of Meaning, his ninth studio album, is certainly worthy.
