Shama Rahman is a Singer, Sitar player, Scientist, Composer and Explorer.
She takes the sitar out of the traditional context, composing and performing across genres including, jazz, psychedelia, live electronica, hip-hop, drum ’n’ bass, worldbeats, Indian/western classical melodies, folk storytelling and beat poetry.
Her poetic songs draw inspiration from my Bangladeshi roots, the childhood desert landscapes of the Middle East, and London’s vibrant urban energy. Shama's compositions reflect multiculturalism and embody diversity in all its forms.
“Imagine Dead Can Dance and Björk getting together in a folk club, to make jazzy trip-hop records… with sitars.” – Songwriting Magazine.
