“UDHERO NA FEAT. ANOUSHKA SHANKAR for your Grammy voting consideration in the 🚨Best Global Music Performance and 🚨Best Arrangement, Instrument and Vocal categories,” Aftab announced in her social media post.
The track featuring British Indian musician Anoushka Shankar is from her latest album ‘Vulture Prince’.
The seven-time Grammy-nominated and first Indian musician to perform at the ceremony, Shankar was also the youngest and first woman to receive a British House of Commons Shield.
Announcing her collab with Shankar earlier, Aftab wrote, “I’ve been a crazy fan of Anoushka Shankar’s since I first saw her live in 2005.”
“She saw my fandom, and offered me a beautiful friendship. This moment that she is playing on my song is insane. Thank you Anoushka for inspiring, steady guiding, soothing my heart with your music, and believing in me, always.”
It is pertinent to mention here that Brooklyn-based Arooj Aftab became the first Pakistani singer to have ever picked a Grammy Award. The singer won the honour for her song ‘Muhabbat’ in the Best Global Performance category.
