It’s indeed a proud moment for India as musician Ricky Kej won his second Grammy Award on Sunday. He bagged the trophy along with Stewart Copeland for ‘Devine Tides’ in the Best New Age Album category at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. Sharing the news on Twitter with his followers, Ricky wrote, “Won the Grammy Award today for our album Divine Tides. Filled with gratitude and love this living-legend standing with me – @copelandmusic. My 2nd Grammy and Stewart’s 6th. Thank you to everyone who ever collaborated, hired, or listened to my music. I exist because of you.” Meanwhile, Indian-American singer Falguni Shah, who uses the stage name “Falu”, has won the Best Children’s Music Album Grammy for ‘A Colourful World’ on Sunday. Sharing the update, Falguni took to Instagram and wrote, “I have no words to describe today’s magic. What an honor to perform for the opening number of the GRAMMY Premier Ceremony, and then take home a statue on behalf of all the incredible people who worked on A Colorful World. We are humbled and thank the Recording Academy for this tremendous recognition. THANK YOU.” Falguni released a self-titled solo album in 2007, blending elements of folk from across south-east Asia with Western music. She has even performed and collaborated with music maestro AR Rahman. She is the only Indian-origin woman to be nominated in the Best Children’s Music Album category at the Grammys twice.
