&lt;br /&gt;
==Biography==&lt;br /&gt;
===Early years===&lt;br /&gt;
Susheela Raman&amp;#039;s parents are [[Tamil people|Tamil]]s from [[Thanjavur]] in Tamil Nadu, [[India]], who arrived in London, UK in the mid-sixties. At the age of four, Raman and her family left the UK for Australia.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushawardworld&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Susheela grew up singing [[Carnatic music|South Indian classical music]] and began giving recitals at an early age.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushbio&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; She recalls how her family &amp;quot;were eager to keep our Tamil culture alive.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushbio&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; As a teenager in Sydney she started her own band, describing its sound as &amp;quot;[[funk music|funk]] and [[rock and roll]]&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushmusicalli&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | author= Biswas, Premankur | title= Musical Alliances | work= Express India | url= http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Musical-Alliances/267805/ | date= 1 February 2008 | access-date= 15 February 2008 | url-status= dead | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090408195157/http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Musical-Alliances/267805/ | archive-date= 8 April 2009 | df= dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushradio3interview&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | author=Cartwright, Garth | title= BBC Radio 3 – Susheela Raman interview | publisher= BBC | url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/world/intsusheela.shtml | date= January 2002 |accessdate=15 February 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; before branching out into more [[blues music|blues]] and [[jazz]]-based music, which demanded quite different voice techniques. She tried to bring these streams together when in 1995 she travelled to [[India]] to rediscover her roots by way of further exploring [[Carnatic music]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Music career===&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to England in 1997, she started to work with her partner, guitarist/producer Sam Mills who had recorded &amp;quot;Real Sugar&amp;quot; with a [[Bengali people|Bengali]] singer named [[Paban Das Baul]]. According to Raman &amp;quot;it bridged a gap and found common ground for one particular kind of Indian music to be expressed to a new audience.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushbio&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | title= Susheela Raman Biography | work= Narada.com | url= http://www.narada.com/SusheelaBio.htm | year= 2002 | access-date= 15 February 2008 | url-status= dead | archive-url= https://archive.today/20130129152001/http://www.narada.com/SusheelaBio.htm | archive-date= 29 January 2013 | df= dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 1999, Raman co-wrote songs for the album &amp;#039;&amp;#039;One and One is One&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by [[Joi (band)|Joi]], also performing on the track &amp;quot;Asian Vibes.&amp;quot; Mills had worked with [[West African]] musicians in the group Tama which also opened musical contact points within the Parisian music scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Salt Rain&amp;#039;&amp;#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
After a period of three years collaborating with Sam Mills, Raman released her first album &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Salt Rain&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in 2001 on [[Narada Productions|Narada]], an American subsidiary of [[EMI]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The album went gold in France and in the UK was shortlisted for the [[Mercury Music Prize]]. Raman also won the Best Newcomer award from [[BBC Radio 3]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Salt Rain&amp;#039;&amp;#039; drew on [[Ancient Tamil music|traditional Tamil music]] blended with [[jazz]]-[[Folk music|folk]] and pop influences.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushawardworld&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | author=Cartwright, Garth | title= BBC Radio 3 – Awards for World Music – Susheela Raman | publisher= BBC | url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/world/awardssusheela.shtml | date= November 2001 |accessdate=15 February 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It featured original material, as well as old songs Raman sang at recitals when younger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Love Trap&amp;#039;&amp;#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2003 Raman released her second album &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Love Trap&amp;#039;&amp;#039; which featured amongst other collaborators the Nigerian drummer [[Tony Allen (musician)|Tony Allen]] and Tuvan singer [[Albert Kuvezin]] of the group [[Yat-Kha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The title track is a re-interpretation of an [[Ethiopian]] song by [[Mahmoud Ahmed]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Music for Crocodiles&amp;#039;&amp;#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Music for Crocodiles&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Raman&amp;#039;s third album, was released in 2005. It had been partly recorded in [[Chennai]] (Madras), [[India]]. The album included &amp;quot;The Same Song&amp;quot; which was used by [[Mira Nair]] for the end credits of her film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Namesake (film)|The Namesake]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. (Nair also used Raman&amp;#039;s version of the 1960s [[Hindi]] film song &amp;quot;Ye Mera Divanapan Hai&amp;quot; from the previous album).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Music for Crocodiles&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Raman sang for the first time in French on &amp;quot;L&amp;#039;Ame Volatile&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raman&amp;#039;s training in Carnatic classical music makes its presence felt in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] classical titles such as &amp;quot;Sharavana,&amp;quot; her singing &amp;quot;Meanwhile&amp;quot; (on the same album) in a [[ragam|rāgam]] called Kanakaangi, and in the song &amp;quot;Light Years&amp;quot; which features a melody in [[Kalyani (rāga)|Kalyani]] rāgam as well as the [[veena]] playing of Punya &amp;#039;Devi&amp;#039; Srinivas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006 Susheela was again nominated for a BBC World Music Award and was the subject of a one-hour documentary by French-German TV Channel [[Arte]], called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Indian Journey&amp;#039;&amp;#039; directed by Mark Kidel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;#039;&amp;#039;33{{frac|1|3}}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Susheela&amp;#039;s deal with Narada ended in 2006 and that year she independently recorded an album &amp;#039;&amp;#039;33{{frac|1|3}}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, a set of re-imaginings of tracks from the nineteen sixties and seventies. Artists covered include [[Bob Dylan]], [[John Lennon]], [[The Velvet Underground]], [[Captain Beefheart]], [[Jimi Hendrix]], [[Can (band)|Can]] and [[Throbbing Gristle]]. The album features long term collaborators Sam Mills on guitar, Vincent Segal on cello, and [[tabla]] player and percussionist Aref Durvesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The album was released in April 2007 in France on the independent label [[XIII Bis]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2008 to 2010===&lt;br /&gt;
Raman garnered acclaim for her live performances.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sushhamm2002&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news | author=Denselow, Robin | title=Susheela Raman, London | newspaper=[[The Guardian]]| url= http://arts.guardian.co.uk/reviews/story/0,,705427,00.html | date= 15 February 2002 |accessdate=15 February 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She continued to research and discover [[Music of Tamil Nadu|music from Tamil Nadu]], studying in 2007 with the [[Bhakti]] singer Kovai Kamla.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vel===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011, Raman released &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vel&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, marking a change in musical direction which was well received.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/may/12/susheela-raman-vel-review | location=London | newspaper=[[The Guardian]] | first=Robin | last=Denselow | title=Susheela Raman: Vel – review | date=12 May 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.mondomix.com/fr/news/susheela-raman-entre-deux-mondes |title=Archived copy |access-date=10 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130629222020/http://www.mondomix.com/fr/news/susheela-raman-entre-deux-mondes |archive-date=29 June 2013  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She followed this up with a series of concerts which showcased her new musical direction, demonstrating, as her reviewers put it &amp;quot;a rousing comeback&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/apr/21/susheela-raman-review | location=London | newspaper=[[The Guardian]] | first=Robin | last=Denselow | title=Susheela Raman – review | date=21 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Festival de Cornouaille 2014 - Susheela Raman - 18.jpg|thumb|upright|Concert in [[Brittany]] (France) in July 2014]]&lt;br /&gt;
Through 2011 to 2013, Raman worked with [[Sufi]] [[Qawali]] singers and musicians in [[Lahore]] in addition to Rajasthani musicians, and continued to explore ecstatic and devotional musical styles.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://susheelaraman.com/a-month-in-lahore-susheela-raman-sam-mills |title=Archived copy |access-date=10 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103192723/http://susheelaraman.com/a-month-in-lahore-susheela-raman-sam-mills |archive-date=3 November 2013  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/515670/when-qawwali-and-folk-music-fill-the-air/|title=When qawwali and folk music fill the air|date=4 March 2013|newspaper=[[The Express Tribune]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013, Raman returned to the stage in London at the [[Royal Festival Hall]] as part of the Alchemy Festival, having previously played at the [[Jaipur Literary Festival]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/susheela-raman-71071|title=Susheela Raman &amp;amp;#124; Southbank Centre|date=6 March 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130306081646/http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/susheela-raman-71071|accessdate=12 August 2020|archive-date=6 March 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://jaipurliteraturefestival.org/music-program-2013/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=28 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918023952/http://jaipurliteraturefestival.org/music-program-2013/ |archive-date=18 September 2013  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Queen Between===&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2013 Susheela Raman announced a new album, as yet untitled, inviting pledges from fans to ensure its release in spring 2014.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://susheelaraman.com/pledge-campaign-about-to-start]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Of this she said: &amp;quot;The record I am making now reflects my work in recent years living in London but travelling to work with master musicians from India and Pakistan. It features master musicians from Rajasthan, and spectacular Sufi Qawwali singers from Pakistan. In addition to my longstanding companions guitarist/producer Sam Mills and tabla demon Aref Durvesh, Fela Kuti’s legendary drummer Tony Allen and French cellist Vincent Segal also make an appearance. It is a really exciting album with singing in English, Tamil, Panjabi, Urdu, Marwari and Bengali. It has some amazing playing and guest vocals by Kutle Khan and Rizwan Muazzam. It’s a big, beautiful, ambitious, groundbreaking album and ... it’s all about the songs.&lt;br /&gt;
It’s a work in progress and a strong start has been made. While the Qawals and Rajasthanis were in London this April we had some great sessions and laid down the basic recording for about nine tracks so far and now are looking for funding to complete the recording and editing, to mix, master and then to promote the album.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The album was finally released on 1 March 2014 as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Queen Between&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/susheelaraman|title=Susheela Raman: New Album &amp;amp;#124; PledgeMusic|date=19 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130919085532/http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/susheelaraman|accessdate=12 August 2020|archive-date=19 September 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
