Grammys: Daughters accept Pt Ravi Shankar's posthumous
Lifetime Achievement award
Monday, February 11, 2013
Sixty days after his demise, sitar legend Pandit Ravi
Shankar was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Grammy
award, which was jointly accepted by his musically gifted
daughters Anoushka Shankar and Norah Jones.
Anoushka, a reputed sitarist herself, and Norah, who has
carved a niche as a singer-songwriter, attended the pre-
Grammy ceremony at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre to accept
the honour bestowed on their iconic father, who passed
away on December 11, 2012 at the age of 92.
"We know he was very excited to be receiving this award.
We really miss him. He lived and breathed music. he was
tapping out rhythms on the breakfast table and making me
do five over seven... I am still trying to get it. We are
very happy to accept the award for him," said nine-time
Grammy winner Norah, 33.
"It was 60 days ago today that he passed away. It's kind
of difficult to be standing up here, like Norah said, I
am thrilled that he knew about this award before he
passed away at least. But I wish we weren't standing up
here for him," said Anoushka, 31, who has accompanied her
father at concerts all around the world
