The music of Nitin Sawhney is the result of a lifetime listening to British and Indian music. He released his first album Spirit Dance in 1993, successfully marrying complex northern Indian music with the harmonically complex music of the West.
He gigged at Glastonbury and WOMAD as well as touring Europe and Canada. In 1995, he released his second album, Migration which addressed the themes of journey, transition and adjustment.
Then in 1996 he released his third album, Displacing the Priest. This was an ambitious, complex project - a personal reflection upon spirituality and organised religion and the gulf that can exists between them. Sawhney himself says that the album was about discarding this map and relying on instincts, turning away from ready made answers and finding a personal spirituality elsewhere.
