Taraana simultaneously channel tradition and progression in their music. Sisters Ragini and Nandini Shankar uncover an elusive balance between timeless Indian classical music and contemporary production punctuated by their virtuosic violin interplay. Music surrounded the two since birth. At three-years-old, they each received a violin as part of a family tradition.
Initially, the sisters each pursued solo careers, building respective audiences and gaining traction online. In the midst of the Global Pandemic, iconic GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Nick Patrick [The Beach Boys, Andrea Bocelli, Seal] stumbled upon a video of Nandini, filled out the contact form on her website, and reached out. Everyone instantly clicked, so they recorded a demo with Nick and caught the attention of Decca Records who promptly signed the duo. Now, they introduce this vision in all of its vitality and vibrancy on their 2023 full-length debut album for Decca Records US, Taraana.
