Rasika shekar interview thank

For her latest single, Uproar, Rasika Shekar collaborated with three international artistes. The flautist and vocalist has also sung Bollywood songs like Sau Aasoon (Katti Batti), Hulla Re (2 States), and Daiyya Maiyya (Kill Dill), but is just as adept at rendering other genres.

“My main vocabulary is Carnatic,” she says, while also counting names of international artistes she has enjoyed collaborating with. The musician talks about her multi-genre prowess.

After ghazals, Bollywood, and electronic music, is there a genre you haven’t tried yet?

Who have been your favourite collaborators?
