India, Feb. 4 -- Indian musicians made a significant mark at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, with several artistes earning nominations, though none secured a win. Indian classical vocalist Siddhant Bhatia and Indo-American pianist Charu Suri also earned nominations. Though trophies eluded them, the experience inspired them to keep creating great music, they told us in separate conversations. "We are happy with what we have. Getting this opportunity is a very big thing. The nomination was God's blessing, so this must also be His plan for us. We will work harder and make a comeback," says Delhi-based Bhatia, whose album Sounds of Kumbha was nominated for Best Global Music Album. Reflecting on the Grammy nomination for her album, Shayan in theBest Contemporary Instrumental category, Suri says that the nomination, in itself, is a "great testament". She adds, "We are here as nominees because our work is being celebrated and is relevant. That relevance does not disappear; it just gives us inspiration and courage to make more music." Bhatia, whose collaborative album featuring 50 global artistes, was released during the Mahakumbh, observes, "People now want to collaborate and come to India for projects. Our festivals are also being looked upon as opportunities to make music." Meanwhile, Suri is taking Shayan (deep sleep) beyond concert halls. It is now being performed in nursing homes and at sleep disorder centres across the US. Suri says, "The world is currently going through a stress and sleep-deficit crisis. This music is beautiful and beneficial to your health."...
