SHANKAR Unwraps His First Ever Holiday Album!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

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\u2019s most demanding talents. Now, Shankar brings\u00a0Christmas From India<\/em>, 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, \u201cChristmas Time\u201d and \u201cSaviour.\u201d

Shankar had this to say about the project, \u201cIt was a thrill and pure joy to work on my new album\u00a0Christmas From India<\/em>. 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 \u2018The Last Temptation of Christ\u2019 and then with Mel Gibson and John Debney on \u2018The Passion of the Christ.\u2019\u00a0Christmas From India<\/em>\u00a0is like a third chapter.\u201d

Today, Shankar brings the Christmas joy a little early, sharing his gorgeous take on the \u201880s Band Aid classic \u201cDo They Know It\u2019s Christmas.\u201d
