Mumbai, January 29: Tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain has said that Grammy nominations for three Indians including himself is a proof that the world is recognising Indian art but the veteran is not too sure of himself grabbing a trophy.
“Three Indian representations for Grammy nominations is incredible and something that has never happened before,” Zakir told PTI.
But, he feels Ustad Amjad Ali Khan who has been nominated in the best traditional world music category for “Ancient Sounds” made in collaboration with Iraqi Oud Soloist Rahim Alhaj has a good chance of winning.
“Even A R Rahman has a decent chance. But, I don’t see myself winning,” he said.
Ustad Zakir Hussain has been nominated for the 52nd Grammy award in the Best Classical Crossover album category for the album ‘The Melody of Rhythm’.
