Take a listen to this man - Prem Joshua

I had the privilege of listening to him on the iTunes Store and though I won't rate him a successor to Ananda Shankar, he is good to listen to. Prem Joshua is an adept flautist and sitarist. I read that Anoushka Shanker, Pandit Ravi Shankar's daughter and an accomplished sitarist herself is a big fan of Prem Joshua and I am not surprised. The music is great for a long ride, exotic choreography or as Ananda Shankar and Tanushree did, good for dances too. According to the article in Wikipedia there is a dancer from Singapore who is already creating such dance performances tuned to Prem Joshua's music. Some of the songs I would highly recommend are "Saroja Part 1" from the album Yatri, "Dakini" from the album Sky Kisses the Earth and "Bolo Hari" from the album Dance of Shakti. Check them out. They may be next best and new thing you were searching for in music.
