Although she has been recording since the 1980s, I didn't really discover Sheila Chandra for myself until last year when I was researching Middle Eastern and Indian influenced vocal styles in preparation for an opportunity I had to sing with a band for a belly dancing performance. I was immediately drawn, not only to her ethereal voice, but to her amazing vocal dynamic. She has a real gift for transporting the listener to that Happy Place.
Taal is a style of Indian music where the voice imitates the sounds of the Tabla drums.
