"I created this album to give my son a way to connect to his South Asian roots and to introduce our culture to other children. As an immigrant from India, I am beyond thankful for the opportunity this GRAMMY nomination gives us to share our story. Thank you to everyone who helped make "Falu's Bazaar" possible!" - Falu

REVIEWS
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
JESSE EISENBERG AND ANNA STROUT (ACTORS, PARENTS)
"Falu’s music is a gateway into a world rich with transcendent melodies, visual imagery, ecstatic learning and cross cultural celebration!"
AASIF MANDVI (ACTOR, COMEDIAN)
"Finally Falu has released an album for children. The same catchy licks and hypnotic voice but this one is filled with the joy of childhood.”
KIRK LLOYD DOUGLAS (MUSICIAN, THE ROOTS)
"I love the songs ‘Rainbow' and ‘Masala’- yummy yummy! You are such a beautiful soul Falu. It is so cool to know you."
MARINA ABRAMOVIC
"Falguni Shah's song Nishaad's Lullaby from the album Falu's Bazaar, awakens in me early memories of innocence, purity and being a child falling asleep. It is really relevant that children are exposed to this kind of music in the turbulent world we live in."
ANN GREGG, FORMER DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL IMPACT PROGRAMS AT CARNEGIE HALL
“Falu and her fellow musicians are vital contributors to the fabric of Carnegie Hall programming- bringing the very best artistry and humanity into exchanges with so many people experiencing concerts and collaborative projects.”
"The album is a playful yet educational collection that teaches South Asian culture through a spirited presentation to today’s youth"
"When you think of children’s music in the United States, you don’t automatically think of Indian music. And when you think of children’s music in other languages, you don’t often think of music sung in Hindi or Gujarati. Well, that is all about to change. Falu’s Bazaar, the debut children’s album from established adult music performer Falu, has arrived and it is so much fun."
