In 2022, Danny Kyle award-winning global folk band Mishra began a new cross-cultural collaboration with international fusion vocalist Deepa Shakthi. The resulting album ‘Turn O Spinning Wheel’, released in October 2025, is brimming with multilingually reimagined folk songs, new compositions, and swirling Celtic melodies underpinned by hypnotic qawwali grooves. Mishra, who has extensively toured the UK and had BBC Radio 2 airplay for their two previous albums, draws from UK folk roots and an instrumental palette including low whistle, tabla, banjo, clarinet, and double bass. Deepa Shakthi (formerly Deepa Nair Rasiya) has a vast repertoire of songs from the Indian subcontinent and over 30 years of experience performing in cross-cultural projects, which has seen her work with Opera North, Kuljit Bhamra, London Contemporary Voices, and even Ravi Shankar and George Harrison on the album ‘Chants of India’. When Mishra and Deepa get on stage together, their joyous performances are a journey of contrasts, from hand-clapping trance-like sufi songs to spacious stillness and reflection.
