THE STRENGTH OF SHAKTI

“It’s A TIHAAI!” QUIPS TABLA MAESTRO Padma Shri Zakir Hussain on being congratulated just a day after the triple whammy at the Grammy Awards. Just a month short of his 73rd birthday, he made history at the ceremony in Los Angeles, becoming the first Indian to win three of these trophies in a single night—in the Best Global Music Performance, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album and Best Global Music Album categories. Hussain now has five of these awards in all, equalling the tallies of the late sitar maestro Ravi Shankar and the master conductor Zubin Mehta; they are all in top spot, incidentally, on the list of Indians with the most Grammy wins.

“It is all about love, all about harmony, all about diverse sounds coming together as one,” says Hussain. “The kind of talent that I am honoured to work with is hard to even come by and, here I am, blessed with the privilege of working with them!”
