Acclaimed sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar performed Traces of You with her sister Norah Jones for the first time on stage after recording the song a decade ago. She took to her social media handle to share the clip, which features the sisters casting a spell with Traces of You at the NN North Sea Jazz Festival. She accompanied the clip with a heartfelt note, calling the whole moment "special" and expressing joy over it.
She wrote, "Well THAT was special! With no exaggeration, something truly unforgettable happened at @northseajazz this weekend. My beautiful sister @norahjones joined me onstage for an impromptu song- our first time EVER performing together! We did ‘Traces of You’ — a song we recorded over a decade ago, and it felt so precious to revisit it together now. Sitting beside her on stage, bringing this music to life as a duo lifetimes in the making, was truly a moment"
She added, "Huge love to everyone who joined us and helped make this dream a reality. Check out these remaining dates—we might be coming to a festival near you super soon! 17/07 - Montpelier Radio Festival - Montpellier, France 18/07 - Les Nuits de Fourvière - Lyon, France
12/08 - #BBCProms, London, UK 25/08 - Helsinki Festival, Helsinki, Finland."
Meanwhile, Anoushka Shankar is set to enthrall her audience and admirers with a much-anticipated India Tour, scheduled to kickstart from August.
