Indian sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar lost the Grammy for Best Global Music Performance to Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny at the 68th Grammy Awards' Premiere Ceremony. Her nominated song "Daybreak," featuring Alam Khan and Sarathy Korwar, was among five contenders. This marked Shankar's 12th and 13th Grammy nominations. She consciously skipped the Los Angeles ceremony, choosing to tour India instead, emphasizing that "awards don't matter like the actual connection playing music for people affords us." The British-American musician has earned fourteen Grammy nominations throughout her career and became the first Indian-origin musician to perform live and present at the Grammys. (PC: Instagram)
