India-West Staff Reporter

IRVINE, CA – World music artist and Indian classical vocalist Kamini Natarajan announces the release of Echoes of the East, an innovative fusion album blending the soulful intricacies of Indian classical vocals with the pulsating rhythms of deep house EDM. This groundbreaking album, available on all digital streaming platforms from March 21, marks the debut of her 13-year-old daughter, Shivali.

The mother-daughter duo, based in the Los Angeles area, are both trained in Hindustani classical music. Kamini, originally from Madhya Pradesh, studied under Gwalior Gharana maestros Pt. Krishnakant Shukla and Pt. Rajeev Sharma, earning a degree in Hindustani music from Khairagarh University, where she graduated at the top of her class. She later honed her skills under Pt. Arun Dravid of the Jaipur Gharana, specializing in taans and laykari.

Born in Los Angeles, Shivali embraces both her American roots and rich Indian heritage, and Echoes of the East reflects that cultural duality. The album is a unique mother-daughter collaboration, featuring original compositions and evocative vocals from both artists, bridging generations and genres in an unprecedented way. Shivali, a multi-instrumentalist, plays the tabla, guitar, and piano. Her first music teacher was her mother, Kamini, and she currently trains under Dr. Ashish Ranade of the Gwalior Gharana, spending summers at his gurukul in Nashik, India.

Produced by acclaimed composer and producer Ken Elkinson—who boasts a catalog of over 100 albums—Echoes of the East offers a fresh perspective in global fusion music. The album is poised to captivate audiences worldwide, from EDM enthusiasts to lovers of Indian classical music, and everyone in between.

Kamini Natarajan, an established name in world music, has a history of pushing creative boundaries. With Echoes of the East marking her 12th release, she continues to explore new musical landscapes while staying rooted in the rich traditions of Indian music. “This album is more than just music; it’s a conversation between past and present, East and West, tradition and innovation,” says Natarajan.
