Grammy Awards 2017: Forget Beyoncé or Adele, an Indian tabla player has also won

The Silk Road Ensemble pose in the press room with the Best World Music Album Grammy, for Sing Me Home, during the 59th Annual Grammy music Awards on February 12, 2017, in Los Angeles, California. 

Indian tabla player Sandeep Das was part of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble Sing Me Home that won the Grammy in the World Music category that also included sitarist Anoushka Shankar’s Land of Gold.

It was sixth time unlucky for Shankar as she is yet to register a win despite multiple nominations in the category over the years.
