Varanasi In My Blood, Tabla Part Of My Soul: Grammy Winner Sandeep Das

Tabla maestro Sandeep Das has made India proud. He won the Grammy award in the world music category for his collaboration with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Speaking to NDTV, he said, "It's a win not only for me or the country, it's a win for art, a win for culture, and a win for the human spirit." "Our music is so wide, so vast that anyone who learns our Indian classical music well can collaborate with anyone," he said. His message to young artistes - learn one thing well enough, go deep and then collaborate - what comes out of that collaboration gets you Grammys.
