Anoushka Shankar: Uncomfortable to see rights taken away from musicians

BY SACNILK

ew Delhi, March 8 (IANS) Grammy-nominated sitarist, composer and producer Anoushka Shankar feels film and television companies want musicians to sign their rights away, which is a 'greedy and unjust' practice. ## Asked what change does she want to see in the music industry, Anoushka told IANS: "It's uncomfortable to see more and more rights taken away from musicians. If musicians compose for film or TV for example, they should own their own intellectual property, but more and more film and television companies want musicians to sign those rights away. It's greedy and unjust." ## When it comes to gender equality in the world of music, the daughter of the late globally-renowned sitar exponent Ravi Shankar said: "I don't think gender equality is 'sweeping in' anywhere. I think it's being fought for, by tooth and nail." ## The mother of two channels her inner thoughts and her emotions through her music. "Traces of You" was about intense joy, pain and sadness, and her album "Land Of Gold", released in April 2016, was written in response to the refugee crisis. Her latest album "Love Letters", a compilation of songs written across 2018-2019, documents a time of profound flux for the artist: health issues, heartbreak, domestic upheaval. ## Despite spending so long in the industry, Anoushka still has to fight many creative challenges. ## "To continue to make music from a truthful inner place, to find the way to go in and hear that voice in a noisy world. And also, to keep my career in balance with my more important role as a mother," she said when asked about her biggest creative challenges. ## Earlier this year, Anoushka performed in India as part of her worldwide tour of her latest album "Love Letters". The tour, presented by Alchemist Marketing Solutions, marked her homecoming to the Indian sub-continent after more than two years. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.

Shilpa Rao claims there is no rivalry among musicians today

BY SACNILK

New Delhi, March 3 (IANS) Singer Shilpa Rao has been in the industry for long and she insists there is no rivalry among musicians.## Whispers of bitter feuds and backstabbing politics among singers and musicians in the Indian music industry have been rampant since time immemorial, what with so many artistes vying to score hits. Shilpa, however, insists she has never felt threatened by any singer.## "All the musicians are very friendly, and caring like a family. We tease and have fun with each other. In fact, when we meet each other on the red carpet or at some music event, we say 'I love this song of yours'. We do concerts together sometimes. There are multiple artists at the same concert, so we mingle and talk. There are genuine compliments that come to each other, so I think there is no music rivalry that exists among musicians. Everyone is doing their own thing and nobody shies away from complimenting each other. It's a very healthy way of working," claimed the "Ghungroo" hitmaker, while speaking to IANS.## She adds that she enjoys collaborating with other artists. "I love collaborations. I would love to collaborate with a rapper now. It's high time to do something, so I would love to do that," said the artist.## Shilpa recently joined hands with sitar player Anoushka Shankar and singer-songwriter-cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson to create the song "Those words".## "I have learned from every collaboration of mine and it's such an emotional journey when you interact with another artist. This is what it's become with the song, and you learn so much. When I was there in the UK, I was looking at how everyone works. You end up learning so many things just by observing other musicians and seeing them at work. It's very important to not just do your part and get out, but also spent that time," she said.## "Those words" is one of her non-film songs. "In these cases, you have to figure out a lot of things and judge, and take a call on your own because there is no external force telling you what to do, so in that way, there is more involved as an artist. You pretty much take a call on a lot of things on your own, so that's something different working on a non-film song but the kind of composers we have in today's time, the music scene... I think they are so many who are open to singers coming in and trying to do new things with the song and you know, having more inputs and a little additional involvement in the song," said Shilpa.## "I love that about every composer we have today urge us to try out new things and that's amazing," added the singer, who made her Bollywood debut back in 2007 with the unforgettable "Tose Naina" number in the film, "Anwar".## Is she planning to turn a composer someday? "I don't know. Thank you for asking me that question. It puts me to that thought process. I will think about it and I will try and compose one song at least someday," said the "Khuda Jaane" hitmaker.## For more and latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned with us.
