India, Feb. 16 -- Mumbai-born musician and a member of the Grammy Jury, Anupam Shobhakar is currently touring India. Reflecting on his decade-long tenure with the Grammys, he says, "At the Grammys, India's scene has evolved big time. From the '70s, when it was Pandit Ravi Shankar and conductor Zubin Mehta, today we have seen a surge of Indian artistes and winners." Talking about the global impact Indian music has, Shobhakar says, "I have been a juror for almost ten years, and Indians are everywhere now; we can no longer say we are yet to arrive. The global stage is no longer about adding Indian sound as texture. Indian music is not asking to be included anymore-it is already part of the global conversation." Having evolved from a young guitarist influenced by Metallica to a disciple of Ustad Aashish Khan, he notes: "Rock gave me courage and stamina... but under Ustad Aashish Khan, I learned surrender. I learned that a raga is not conquered. It is entered." While he is happy with his global musical career, Shobhakar remains open to delving in Indian cinema. "But I am yet to receive good offers," he ends....
