Ananda Sankar (1942 – 1999) Son of Uday and Amala Shankar, Ananda, in the words of a critic, “was an original musician of the word before the term world music was invented.” Trained in Indian classical music and subsequently exposed to western trends, he pioneered a distinctive sound : vibrant new age music, capable of breaking barriers between races, cultures and generations.
Not confined by the fetters of the archaic and the conventional, decades ahead of its time when first unleashed in the world of music, Ananda’s creative efforts retain their originality and appeal even today. He has given the world a repertoire of music heard regularly over the radio, on television, at plays, on airlines, at fashion shows and in films and of course during performances by the Centre of Performing Arts founded by him.
