It's called konnakol, from India and is centuries old. Incredible isn't it?

I have a couple of her albums and they are amazing.

Reading the comments below that video makes me want to weep at the stupidity and wilful ignorance of some people...

I didn't read them, but I can imagine! People have strong opinions on what music is and should be, without having heard 99% of the different genres and cultures of music on the planet. All I know is that this is just great, Sheila has a stunning voice and her rhythms are fantastic to listen to. Konnakol rocks!

I still hear WZBC play "Ever So Lonely" once in awhile. That's when Sheila was in the band "Monsoon", around 1983 or so.
