Mumbai, Maharashtra based Fusion/World Music band INDO GYPSIES have come up with their another new single titled SOLDIER'S LOVE. The band pretty much stands true to their name, like "gypsies", they are not restricted to any particular genre. This diversity arises from the fact that all of the band members greatly differ in their musical backgrounds.

Anoushka Shankar, daughter of the great sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar, has with her new album given herself a new direction and expanded her horizons. One could argue that music is in her blood and therefore she grasps more attention because of her lineage rather than her music but her experimentation with her genre, especially in TRAVELLER, does to some extent prove that perhaps her intentions are to create an identity for herself rather than step into the shoes of her father. As is the case with many children of established classical musicians, they tend to be overshadowed by the monumental achievements and talent of their parents and cannot properly fill the void that they seem to be confronted with.

Internationally acclaimed sitar player Anoushka Shankar will perform at Alcheringa 2012, the annual fest of IIT-Guwahati, on 2nd February 2012.

Raghu Dixit Project, an initiative of one of the most talented musicians India is seeing at the present, is one of the best bands India has churned out in the recent past. Making music that will definitely rouse one's soul through its ethnicity, dream-inciting lyrics, its rawness and simplicity, Raghu Dixit is surely doing his part in keeping the flag of Indian Rock  flying high. Clad in ethnic wear, specifically lungis, their dynamic onstage presence trebled with their onstage jamming, blend of blues into their Folk-inspired-Rock Music, and Raghu Dixit's inimitable vocals, this gem of a band has a long way ahead of them to march along, leading a new young generation of listeners to a new India, where we expect more such kind of music, rooted to the soil of the nation, defying physical boundaries.
