Vocalist and composer Falu is a powerhouse of talent. A classically trained artist who learned music in India for over a decade before moving to America over a decade ago, Falu has performed with Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman in the presence of First Lady Michelle Obama, television celebrity Oprah Winfrey and actress Elizabeth Taylor.
She even sang for the Dalai Lama and performed with Japanese cellist Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Project. Back in New York after touring several American cities to perform a traditional/classical concert at the famous Joe's Pub, Falu -- Falguni Dalal before her marriage to physician-musician Gaurav Shah -- speaks to Arthur J Pais about her music and her new album. What are some of your most memorable moments as an artist ? I was invited to sing Jai Ho [the Oscar-winning song from Slumdog Millionaire] with A R Rahman at Time magazine's 100 most influential people event May 5 last year. It was attended by Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and many other celebrities. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.
