Chandrika Tandon has secured a Grammy for Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album at the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Recognised for her work on Triveni, the Indian-American vocalist shared the honour with her collaborators, flautist Wouter Kellerman and cellist Eru Matsumoto. This achievement marks a significant moment in her artistic journey, cementing her influence in the global music scene.
Tandon’s musical journey has been one of exploration and dedication. Her approach fuses classical Indian influences with contemporary styles, creating a distinctive sound that resonates across cultures. Triveni is a testament to this blend, weaving together instruments and traditions that elevate the listening experience. The album’s evocative compositions and intricate arrangements reflect years of refinement and collaboration.
The recognition comes as an affirmation of Tandon’s commitment to using music as a means of connection and expression. Her work has consistently aimed to bridge artistic traditions while maintaining authenticity. This Grammy win acknowledges that effort, celebrating not just an album but a philosophy of cultural dialogue through sound.
Beyond music, Tandon has made vital contributions in business and philanthropy. An entrepreneur and a respected figure in the corporate world, she brings the same discipline and innovation to her music that defined her business career. As the sister of Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo, she has often been linked to the corporate world, yet she has carved out her own distinct identity in the arts.
Triveni draws its essence from a deep-rooted appreciation for Indian classical music while embracing contemporary sensibilities. It reflects the dynamism of artists who push boundaries, refusing to be confined by genre. The collaboration with Kellerman and Matsumoto added depth to the project, blending their unique sounds into a cohesive and immersive experience. Their combined artistry has produced an album that not only soothes but also invites introspection.
The win at the Grammys highlights the growing recognition of diverse musical traditions on an international stage. For Tandon, this award is another milestone in a career built on passion and perseverance. It highlights the power of artistic dedication and cross-cultural collaboration, proving that music transcends boundaries and unites listeners in a shared experience.
