Every now and then I like to showcase a multicultural talent that has nothing to do with marketing or advertising.
Today, I’d like to feature Shilpa Ray, an Indo-American rocker. Her instruments: the harmonium – that instrument so ubiquitous in Indian music accompanied by caterwauling vocals. NYTimes describes her as Patti Smith meets Nick Cave. I hear Tom Waits being channelled too. And perhaps a soupçon of Billy Idol?
Watch Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers rock the harmonium.
