Shephali Frost

Shephali Frost Ensemble is a unique, world music band based in the UK. It combines medieval folk music from Asia with modern British poetry & jazz, to give a powerful, new voice to contemporary world music. Journeying from slow, contemplative compositions to rhythmic numbers, their audiences travel between meditative repose & impromptu dance. When English spoken-word and lyrics weave in with Shephali’s repertoire in Sanskrit, Urdu, Saraiki, Farsi, Pashto, Arabic & Hindi, a joined-up world truly takes shape.
Shephali Frost's  collaborators on this journey are: 
Martin Hathaway, Chris Caldwell, Zak Barrett (Saxophone)
Susie Hodder-Williams (Flute) 
Trevor Taylor (Percussion) 
Aslam Ali (Tabla)
Dave Lee (Synth)
Dan Banks (Piano)
Shanti Jayasinha (Cello)
Jonathan Mayer (Sitar) 
The band concluded a successful UK tour in 2023 called, ‘Ancestral Voices with Shephali Frost Ensemble - The Inheritance of Love’. A new album called ‘Turmoil of Onions’ is set to be released in Summer 2024.
