  1. It is a relief to see someone maintaining the Indian Music. I have no qualms if that’s done by a foreigner. I am not the one who differentiates between Indians and Foreigners. I believe what my Ancestors believed – embrace good, don’t look at the color and creed of its creator. I admire your creations, Shankar Tucker and would continue to support you and your lovely music forever. Can’t get myself not to listen to the ‘Night Monsoon’ at least once a day. I know, you hear that almost every other day, but well, I had to let you know :)

  10. Simply Phenomenal! I have no words for your music, ShankarJi, especially “Ab Jaane Ki Zid Naa Karo, Ja Ja Re, Manamohini, and countless others.” A long time musician myself, I can say with no doubt, you have become my favorite artist overnight! Your rendition of Manamohini just captured my heart!

  11. all those who are appreciating should also consider buying these songs. Mere appreciation isn’t sufficient to keep the music flowing. Show your love by giving back!
