Falu
::''Not to be confused with Mosaddek Ali Falu, the Bangladeshi politician.''
Falu, born Falguni Shah in Mumbai, India is a New York-based singer and songwriter whose music blends ancient classical Indian melodies with contemporary western sounds. In her burgeoning U.S.-based career, she has worked with and collaborated with a wide array of artists including A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire), Yo-Yo Ma (in The Silk Road Project), Philip Glass, Wyclef Jean, her teacher Ustad Sultan Khan, Blues Traveler, Ricky Martin and Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic).
==Biography==
In her early years in Mumbai, Falu was trained rigorously in the ''Jaipur gharana'' musical tradition, honing her talent for up to 16 hours a day at times. She later continued studying under the legendary sarangi/vocal master Ustad Sultan Khan.
Falu moved to the States in 2000, and joined the Boston-based Indo-American band Karyshma as lead vocalist. In 2001, she met up with Asian Massive leader Karsh Kale, and hit the nationwide university, club and festival circuits. After fulfilling a 2-year Indian music visiting lectureship at Tufts University in Boston, Falu moved to New York where she formed her own band of the same name. They began performing at music venues throughout New York, quickly garnering the attention of fans across the city.
In 2004, Falu was invited to perform as a soloist with Yo-Yo Ma's ''Silk Road Project''. In 2005 she was asked to serve as one of Carnegie Hall's Musical Ambassadors to New York City. In May 2006, she delivered her debut solo performance at Carnegie Hall (Zankel). Later in the year she joined the ''Born Into Brothels Ensemble'' (from the 2004 Academy-Award winning film) and in early 2007 she collaborated with Wyclef Jean, lending her vocal style to the score of Angelina Jolie's directorial debut ''A Place in Time''. In January 2008, Falu and her band were featured on FOX channel's Fearless Music, where her original song ''Rabba'' became the first Hindi song ever to be aired on the network.〔Dholakia-Dave, Hiral. Times of India, Feb. 11, 2008 - ("She blends raags with rock in the West." )〕
In August 2007, Falu released her self-titled debut CD.〔World Music Central News Dept., May 18, 2007 - ("Self-titled Indie-Hindi debut out August 7th" )〕 Soon afterward, her "Indie Hindi" musical style made its mark in the Wall Street Journal as representative of a new class of musical hybrids.〔Jurgensen, John. Wall Street Journal - August 18, 2007. ("Music's New Mating Ritual" )〕
In May 2009, Falu made a special appearance at the Time 100 Gala—Time Magazine’s yearly gala celebrating their list of the 100 most influential people in the world—performing a rendition of “Jai Ho” alongside Slumdog Millionaire film composer AR Rahman, for an exclusive and star-studded crowd which included First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters, Stella McCartney, Liv Tyler, M.I.A. and more.
In November 2009, Falu was invited to the White House to again sing alongside A.R. Rahman at President Obama’s first State Dinner in honor of the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.〔New Music Reviews - November 24, 2009. ("Falu performs for White House State Dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister" )〕
2011 was a year of film music for Falu, from writing music for the documentary "The Human Tower" (along with Andres Subercaseaux and Rene Veron) to writing for the film "First Sight" (with Sivamani and Mark Tewarson). In the same year, Falu also contributed to Global Noize's sophomore album Prayer For the Planet. She also continued to work closely with Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute, pushing the boundaries of global music collaboration including with kids from New York's Crossroads Juvenile Center and with inmates from Sing Sing Correctional Facility in upstate NY where she, her band and 16 musically talented inmates performed for more than 400 other inmates in early 2012.
In 2013 Falu released her second album entitled ("Foras Road" ), a collection of original and traditional songs inspired by the semi-classical music performed and guarded for centuries by courtesans dwelling on the road of the same name in Bombay. The album was produced by Grammy-winning producer Danny Blume and was (featured on NPR's SoundCheck ) in May, 2013.
Falu's band of the same name includes musicians who draw from Indian classical, alternative rock, contemporary pop, and electronic styles to create a mix of East and West - one reason why The New York Times featured Falu in a story titled "Bridging Cultural Gaps with Music." 〔 The New York Times, Oct. 25, 2011 - ("Bridging Cultural Gaps With Music." )〕 The band members are Gaurav Shah (vocals / harmonium), Mark Tewarson (guitars), Danny Blume (bass), Deep Singh (tabla/percussions), Dave Sharma (percussions) and Soumya Chatterjee (violin).
