In My Line Of Sight

Award-winning sitarist, composer and singer, Shama Rahman weaves stories that start life as poems and take flight as songs. The sitar is centre-stage within a brilliant 5-piece band, playing original lyrically poetic music with a whole heap of energy - garnering praise from the likes of Gilles Peterson. Mixing music from English, Bengali, Bulgarian and West African jazz/folk traditions, with jazz improvisational textures and urban world beats, she sings over her sitar passionately with folk-reminiscent observations on life, love, revolutions and time.
