Sangeeta Shankar & daughters : Hindustani violin as a heritage – 1st part (45 minutes)
From an early age, Sangeeta Shankar and her two daughters, Ragini and Nandini, were introduced to the subtleties of Hindustani music by their mother and grandmother, the famous violinist Dr. N. Rajam. Like the latter, their playing style mimics the inflection of the singing voice, with a bow technique that achieves the intonation nuances characteristic of Hindustani vocal forms, especially Khayal. This family trio of two generations of female instrumentalists is unique in the world of Hindustani music!
Queens of Melody : From Kurdish songs to Hindustani ragas – 2nd part (30 minutes)
French artist Éléonore Fourniau sings the joys and sorrows of the Kurdish people with a rare sensitivity, accompanying herself on saz and hurdy-gurdy. Indian violinist Nandini Shankar performs the ragas of Hindustani music with subtlety and virtuosity. In this recent creation, Eléonore Fourniau and Nandini Shankar take us on a musical journey that combines the sung heritage of the vast lands of Kurdistan with the Hindustani ragas of the plains and cities of North India. “Queens of melody ” is an invitation to immerse yourself in the captivating and timeless melodies of these Asian territories.
This evening in the colors of India benefits from the support of Indian and Luxembourgish sponsors and is part of the celebration of the 75th year of Independence of India. An event not to be missed!
