Ustaad Zakir Hussain was recently felicitated with his second Grammy for Global Drum Project in the Contemporary World Music Album category. He had received the first-ever Grammy for Best World Music Album in 1991 for Planet Drum.
Co-incidently, this was also a collaboration with Hart. He is now the second Indian after Pandit Ravi Shankar to have received the Grammy twice.
The album is a collaboration between Zakir, drummer Mickey Hart, Nigerian percussionist Sikiru Adepoju and Puerto Rican jazz percussionist Giovanni Hidalgo.
