Shama And Friends
Let The Light On
The territory of Shama Rahman's music ranges from London, her hometown, through the United States, Morocco, Hungary and even Antarctica, being just some of the destinations where her work has reached. The composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer has developed her music in genres such as live electronics, jazz, psychedelia, folk storytelling, urban and worldbeats, as well as classical Indian/Western melodies, using elements like her voice, spoken word, different instruments, media and technology. But, especially, her Sitar, a traditional instrument from India and Pakistan, a region in which her family has roots. In the artist's words: "I take the Sitar out of the traditional context across genres".
