PRESENTED BY PRAGYA TIWARI
Tamil Londoner Susheela Raman has established her place as one of the most creative artists to emerge from the South Asian diaspora. Blessed with a mesmeric voice and an captivating stage presence, Susheela has enraptured countless listeners with her own songs and with her interpretations of songs from her Indian roots. She makes the lines on the map dissolve; a South Indian sensibility radiates through her happily hybrid Euro-Afro-Asian musical landscape, just as an Indian voice is infused with a Londoner's feeling for rock, blues, soul. Her latest album "Queen Between" features her amazing collaboration with musicians from Rajasthan and Qawwals from Pakistan.
Susheela's ability to sing her way between musical worlds and thereby to create her own, has few parallels. She is moving with the tide of the times: India is now a centre of gravity within the Anglophone world, and is increasingly in the global spotlight. Finding sophisticated and adventurous pathways between Indian and global culture is the real challenge; one which she boldly and instinctively meets.
With a justified reputation as an incandescent live performer, Susheela has made five classic albums: After 'Salt Rain" (2001) came 'Love Trap' (2003) which was recorded in Spain and featured her version of ' the Mukesh classic 'Ye Mera Divanapan Hai' which was used by Mira Nair in her film "The Namesake". 'Music for Crocodiles' (2005) was her third album and was recorded partly in Chennai. She took a interesting step in 2007, recording '33 1/3' in Iceland (!) which was an album of reinterpretations of some classic rock tracks such as Dylan 'Like A Rolling Stone', and 'Voodoo Chile': It wasn't about doing 'covers', it was about trying to take each song somewhere quite different. All her albums chart a personal relationship with musical history and her own role as a conduit where musical oceans meet. Each Susheela album is a big vision that retains its freshness and uniqueness for a long time to come.
