SRINAGAR: In a matter of pride, noted Kashmiri singer and musician Qaisar Nizami has been nominated for the prestigious Grammy award for his collaborative song ‘Nazninay’ (O Beauty), which forms a part of US-based music composer and santoor player Ehsaan Matoori’s multinational ‘The Voice and Bridges’ project.
The nominations for the 2002 Grammys (or the 64th Grammy Awards) will be formally announced at a live-streamed event on November 23.
It is for the first time in Grammy history that a Kashmiri singer has found a place in the list of nominations. The first-round voting for the nominations ended on November 5.
