Why British folk singer Deepa Shakthi believes music should be messy, raw and free from follower-driven rules

Highlights

  • Turn O Spinning Wheel fuses English folk, Indian ragas and Sufi improvisation.
  • Deepa Shakthi slams the industry’s obsession with follower counts and clout.
  • Producer Stuart McCallum guided the band towards minimalism and focus.
  • The album spans reworked folk, Punjabi songs, qawwali and raga Jog.

At first, Deepa Shakthi wasn’t sure. A 2023 UK tour with Mishra, playing British folk mixed with her Indian classical voice, didn’t sound like the easiest fit. They were taking their fusion of Indian classical and British folk to rural corners of the UK; to Cornwall, to New Mills, places where, as she puts it, people aren’t exposed to this sound every day.

“I was very reticent. I was very kind of… anxious inside.”
