(April 8, 2022) <\/strong>When Ricky Kej\u2019s soulful notes coupled with Steward Copeland\u2019s eclectic music gave Divine Tides<\/em> an ethereal essence, one was transported into a reverie of beautiful music. Winning the Grammy in the best new album category at the 64th<\/sup> annual Grammy Awards ceremony at Las Vegas in April, brought back the spotlight on Indian talent and how it has shone on the world stage. Falguni Shah took home the statue in the children\u2019s music album category. It is shocking though that melody queen Lata Mangeshkar never won a Grammy. Global Indian<\/em><\/a> turns the spotlight on the 12 outstanding musicians from India who have been honoured with the Grammy since 1959. Some are multi-Grammy winners too. Here\u2019s the GI list of maestros\u2026<\/p>\n

Pandit <\/strong>Ravi Shankar, <\/strong>sitarist<\/strong>\u00a0and composer<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Shankar (7 April 1920 \u2013 11 December 2012) got nominated for the Grammy awards six times, and won it five times, out of which two were posthumous honours. The sitar maestro was recognised as the world’s best exponent of north Indian classical music in the second half of the 20th century. He developed a distinct style establishing confluence of north Indian classical music with rhythm practices of Carnatic music. Shankar was fond of closing his performances with a piece inspired by the light-classical thumri <\/em>genre.<\/p>\n
