	What's New on MyBindi!

	Sheela Bringi Releases New Album Incantations Indian American musician Sheela Bringi has been exploring the connections between her ancestral and actual homelands her entire life. The talented singer and multi-instrumentalist's debut album, Incantations (White Swan; Release: February 25, 2014), is a milestone in a young career rooted in the integrity of India's classical music tradition and the beauty of its mantras, as well as a groundbreaking exploration of American blues and jazz. As a young woman Bringi was influenced by M.I.A. and Dead Can Dance, studied with Cecil Taylor and Meredith Monk, while at the same time deepened her studies with demanding Indian classical instructors like G.S. Sachdev and Aashish Khan. "Studying with these innovators and masters cracked my musical world wide open," she says. "It helped me develop a sense of where music traditions might bend, and where they might break. This sense is necessary if you hope to reshape and re-imagine old music." Read more click HERE.
