Tabla artist Sandeep Das's album bags Grammy nod

MUMBAI: 'Off The Map', an album featuring Indian Tabla artist Sandeep Das, has won a Grammy nomination in the 'Best Classical Crossover Album'.

Das, one of the prominent artistes from India, features in 'Sulvasutra', which is about the creation of the world. The piece was specially written for Das by a commission of Carnegie Hall.

The artist has been working with silk road ensemble and multiple Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma for the past ten years. His previous album 'The Rain' was also nominated for Grammy in 2004.

"It is a great honour. I have been playing with Yo-Yo Ma for the past ten years but this time we worked without him. It is definitely heart-warming to get a nomination," Das told PTI.

There are four pieces in the album by different artists including Das.
