Sheema Mukherjee is a sitar prodigy, composer, and band member with Transglobal Underground and The Imagined Village (where she first played with Paul Weller) - fusing her deep-rooted Indian classical tradition with cutting-edge British musical innovation. We talk about her family musical heritage, her powerful approach to emotion and improvisation, and how she developed her unique language on the sitar. We’ll explore Sheema’s session at Paul Weller’s Black Barn studio, where she not only played on the song 'Books' for the True Meanings LP, but also contributed a Sanskrit prayer, lending both authenticity and spiritual resonance to the record and Paul's Other Aspects Royal Festival Hall concerts.
