“Toronto’s Autorickshaw is one of those groups beloved by Queen East hipsters, CBC producers and Canada Council types. But behind all the multi-culti hype and global village platitudes lie some serious musical chops. Like the subcontinental taxi that is their namesake, the group takes audiences on a sometimes bumpy but always exhilarating musical journey, twisting and turning through Indian classical forms, straight-ahead jazz, Bollywood pop and downtown club beats. Autorickshaw has played jazz, folk and world music festivals from Vancouver to Stockholm, and their live performances have gained a reputation for soulful intensity. Sankaran has a sensuous, supple voice…her sense of phrasing, expression and tone are immaculate…” -Natasha Gauthier, The Ottawa Citizen
