Newshour

Available for over a year

Anoushka Shankar is not only one of the world's most accomplished sitar players, she also speaks out about issues such as migration and sexual violence. She learnt the sitar from her father, the legendary Indian musician Ravi Shankar. She's been performing at the Womad world music festival in southern England this week - the BBC's Martin Vennard asked her about her latest album, Land of Gold.
