Jyotsna’s ‘Shakthi’ is a collection of contemporary Indian tunes composed during lockdown. ‘Shakthi’ means ‘Strength’ in Sanskrit. The world came to a stand still during the pandemic. The artists suffered immensely with loss of work. They gathered courage and strength to survive during the pandemic and now have again started to perform and tour. The songs of Shakthi have a blend of ragas presented in a contemporary way along with electronics and improvisations in Indian style, thus producing new sounds. Jyotsna is Europe’s foremost Indian violinist. Her music illuminates Carnatic musical tradition in kaleidoscope colour, approaching every musical interaction with a forward-thinking outlook and elastic expressivity.
Jyotsna is accompanied by two talented musicians from Bangalore – India, music producer Shadrach Solomon on keys/piano and rhythms sensation Karthik Mani on drums and Indian ethnic percussion.
