Anoushka Shankar's Ambient Indian and Sally Oldfield's Water Bearer on Echoes

Anoushka Shankar

We go east on the next Echoes for the second in a trilogy of albums by sitarist Anoushka Shankar. We’ll hear track from her EP, Chapter II: How Dark It Is Before Dawn. Shankar takes Indian ragas and alaps into a more ambient terrain.  We’ll hear a couple of tracks from that, and the entire first side of Water Bearer by Sally Oldfield. It’s classic with a sound that presages Mike Oldfield’s Incantations. Join John Diliberto in the dawn of Echoes from PRX.
