HOLDER OF THE BBC RADIO 3 WORLD MUSIC AWARD
// Facebook Event //
Susheela Raman was born in London to South Indian parents. During her childhood her family moved to Australia, as a teenager she performed with rock and blues bands. After return to the UK she became the first world music artist to be nominated for a Mercury prize with her debut set Salt Rain, in January 2002 she received the BBC Radio 3 World Music Award and since then she has constantly changed direction, experimenting with Indian influences or reworking rock classics. Her haunting voice combines the soul of a Joan Armatrading and the wildness of a P.J. Harvey, even the spiritual plugged-in power of an Abida Parveen. On her new album Vel (the Tamil for spear), Susheela Raman has worked with Sam Mills, her partner and producer, and Indian guest musicians. As one Indian journalist commented, "When you hear Carnatic with a bluesy treatment or a Lou Reed classic sounding like it originated from Chennai or the Mississippi Delta, you're in Susheela Country".
