Sitar legend Ravi Shankar posthumously awarded on 11 February the best world music album trophy at the 55th Grammys, pipping his own daughter Anoushka, a day after being honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award by The Recording Academy.
Shankar’s album The Living Room Sessions Part 1 saw off competition from Anoushka’s Traveller, Amadou & Mariam’s Folila, Daneil Ho’s On A Gentle Island Breeze and Hugh Masekela’s Jabulani.
Anoushka accepted the award on the sitar maestro’s behalf at music’s biggest night at the Staples Center here, saying: “Its OK to lose to your father.”
Shankar passed away on December 11 at the age of 92 following a heart-valve replacement surgery in San Diego.
Anoushka was also on hand 9 February to receive the Lifetime Achievement award along with Shankar’s other daughter Norah Jones at the Academy’s Special Merit Awards celebration.
