Album · Folk · 2024
When you’ve been through what Raghu Dixit has, you’re entitled to add the hashtag #SongsAboutStayingAliveWhenYouDontWantTo to the cover of your third full-length album. The pioneering folk-fusion artist, who tells stories in multiple languages, has faced tough challenges over his decades-spanning career, and has sought therapy to help him rise to the self-assured Indian independent icon he is today. Shakkar is a celebration of Dixit’s triumphs, sung with passion and joy over eight folky, playful tunes about angels (“Shakkarpari”), love (“Do Saanson Ke Beech”) and ambition (“Cheenta”).
