Shakti, the fusion band formed in 1974 by English guitarist John McLaughlin, Indian violin player L. Shankar, percussionists Zakir Hussain and T. H. "Vikku" Vinayakram, has been a major influence on the world music scene for decades. The band's unique blend of jazz, rock, and Indian classical music has earned them a devoted following around the globe. Shakti's first album, A Handful of Beauty (1975), was an instant classic and featured some of their most memorable songs such as "Lotus Feet," "Joy," and "Guardian Angel." This album also earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Ethnic or Traditional Recording in 1976. In 1977, the band released Natural Elements which showcased their ever-evolving sound and included tracks like "La Danse du Bonheur" and "Love Song to the Divine Mother." This album won them a Grammy Award for Best World Music Album in 1978. In 1979, Shakti released their third album called Voices which featured songs like "Saraswati," "Earth Dance," and "Lila's Dance." This album was another critical success for the band and earned them another Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album in 1980.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Shakti continued to tour extensively throughout Europe and North America while releasing several live albums along the way. In 2003 they reunited to record their fourth studio album entitled Remember Shakti: The Believer which featured some of their most popular songs including "The Believer," "Rise To Be," and "Ganesha's Dream." This album was nominated for two Grammy Awards - Best Contemporary World Music Album and Best Pop Instrumental Performance - making it one of their most successful releases to date. Shakti is currently planning a 2023 tour that will take them across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, South Africa, and more! Fans can expect to hear all of their classic hits as well as new material from their upcoming fifth studio album due out later this year. With over four decades of experience under their belt, Shakti continues to be one of the most influential bands in world music today!
