The heartfelt music makes audiences want to dance and cry at the same time, with melancholic melodies and vivid lyrical pictures. Her formal music education runs tangent to a studious career mastering Brazilian, West African, and Indian music. Shah has sung on 6 continents and at notable venues from The Kennedy Center to Blue Note.
