L. Shankar - Christmas from India '2021

Tracks list

Celebrate the holidays this year with a little international flavor, courtesy of
one of the most widely revered violinists, vocalists and musical geniuses who
has collaborated with everyone from Frank Zappa, Peter Gabriel and U2 to Bruce
Springsteen, Madonna and many, many more - Indian-born L. Shankar. Known for his
incredibly dexterous playing and his unique singing voice, Shankar has earned
accolades from across the musical spectrum and has been recruited to perform
live for the world’s most demanding talents. Now, Shankar brings
Christmas From India, a brand new set of recordings where he recreates some of
the most treasured holiday classics with the sound of tablas, sitar and, of
course, violin and vocals to craft a Christmas album like no other. The album
also includes 2 original compositions written by Shankar, “Christmas
Time” and “Saviour.”

Shankar had this to say about the project, “It was a thrill and pure joy
to work on my new album Christmas From India. It brought back fond memories of
working on the music for both of the Jesus movies, first with the legendary
filmmaker Martin Scorsese and Peter Gabriel on ‘The Last Temptation of
Christ’ and then with Mel Gibson and John Debney on ‘The Passion of
the Christ.’ Christmas From India is like a third chapter.”

Today, Shankar brings the Christmas joy a little early, sharing his gorgeous
take on the ‘80s Band Aid classic “Do They Know It’s
Christmas.”
