Anoushka Shankar, one of the world's most accomplished sitar players, joins Bobby Friction during which she will be performing music from her newly released album Traces Of You.

Her pedigree is impeccable having learnt at the feet of her late father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, and her willingness to experiment makes her an innovative modernist with a classical heart.'
