Recently, Falu has been setting aside her electric guitar, keyboards and drums for performances favoring more classical and traditional Indian music. Embracing her roots and musical culture, passed on to her by her mentor Ustad Sultan Khan and representative of the 10th generation of musical legacy, Falu draws from some of the richest classical, semi-classical and folk traditions of India.

Falu has performed for the Dalai Lama at Lincoln Center, appeared on the companion CD to Deepak Chopra's book The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, was invited to perform with Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project and is currently serving as one of Carnegie Hall's Music Ambassadors to New York City, where she recently held a sold out performance.

Her live performances have been featured nationally on FOX TV and internationally on National Geographic TV, while her voice has been captured in multiple films including Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut A Place in Time.
