‘Dreams do come true’: Music composer-singer Shankar Mahadevan on Grammy win

Music composer and singer Shankar Mahadevan has expressed his gratitude with a heart-felt note, after his and Zakir Hussain’s band Shakti won the Best Global Music Album award at the Grammys 2024. He said that this was the moment due to which he could claim that dreams do indeed come true.

Mahadevan took to Instagram and shared a string of pictures from Grammy 2024. Alongside a picture where he can be seen posing with a golden gramophone, he wrote: “We did it. I never imagined that a band from where I have learnt my music and my musical aesthetics would be the band with whom I would eventually perform and win a Grammy. This is the moment from which I can easily say that dreams do come true. Shakti was a dream which came true! Thank you Almighty for making this happen! It’s truly this moment.” Mahadevan and Zakir’s band features guitarist John McLaughlin, percussionist V Selvaganesh, and violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan.
