    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 :)

    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!
