WORLD PREMIERE OF 'PROMISES OF OUR GRANDMOTHERS’ AT THE 2021 NOBEL PRIZE SUMMIT

“Promises of Our Grandmothers” is a song written as a tribute to the women on the front lines of environmental movements around the world. Sung in English, Spanish, Farsi, and Mohawk, she honors women across all generations who are the backbone of the planet and how these unsung heroes must be explored to come back to our traditions.

With an introduction by Tara Houska (Couchiching First Nation), the song opens with the voices of 100 women from around the world and features Shankar with an incredible lineup of musicians including Iranian composer, vocalist, performance artist and activist Sussan Deyhim (vocals), Las Cafeteras member Daniel French (jarana segunda, vocals), Los Angeles-based drummer, singer and performer Mona Tavakoli (cajon), PitchBlak Brass Band member Chanell Crichlow (flugelhorn and flugelbone), Richard Horowitz (piano), Robert Glasper collaborator Jahi Lake (electronics), String Theory member Luke Rothschild (upright bass), John Wentz (sousaphone), Janani Shankar (vocals) and three-time Emmy award winner Vivek Maddala (guitar, drums, charango).
