Award-winning sitarist, composer and singer, Shama Rahman weaves stories that start life as poems and take flight as songs. Supported by the likes of Gilles Peterson, 6 Music, BBC´s Front Row, Channel 4´s Sunday Brunch and The Times, she and her electro-acoustic band take the sitar out of its traditional context and use it as the basis for compositions that range across an eclectic array of genres that include jazz, electronica, hip-hop, drum ’n’ bass, worldbeats, Indian/western classical melodies, folk storytelling and beat poetry.
