FALU and her eponymous band are gaining visibility for their exquisite synthesis of ancient Indian classical traditions and contemporary pop/rock songwriting. Trained rigorously under the legendary master Ustad Sultan Khan, singer Falu’s (Falguni Shah’s) formidable vocal dexterity and improvisatory talent together with exceptional onstage charisma have led to numerous high-profile collaborations including with superstar producer Wyclef Jean in Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut film A Place in Time, Yo-Yo Ma in the Silk Road Project, Born Into Brothels Ensemble (from the 2004 Oscar-winning documentary), Karsh Kale, and Carnegie Hall, for whom she serves as an ambassador of Indian music and where her debut Family Concert in 2006 at Carnegie's Zankel Hall was sold out. Recently her studio performance of "Rabba" became the first Hindi song ever aired nationally on FOX TV. Her self-titled debut CD, described by the Wall Street Journal as representative of a novel hybrid genre "Indie Hindi", was released in August, 2007. http://www.falumusic.com and http://www.thekhyber.com for more information and to get advance tickets to this exciting performance, Falu's first ever in Philadelphia!

I think that Falu is a very talented artist. I found a bunch of interviews that she did and if you missed her concert you should check out the interviews with her.
