Maybe time had halted, says violin player Ganesh Rajagopalan as he approached the Grammy stage with his Shakti musicians to get the brilliant gramophone for 'Best Worldwide Music Collection'. Shakti won the Grammy for "This Second", the band's most memorable studio collection in more than 45 years. Rajagopalan, Shakti's pioneer and guitarist John McLaughlin, tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, vocalist Shankar Mahadevan, and percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram won the honor at a function in the US recently. "It was like rapture since time halted (for us). We had a group of 25 individuals with us so the festival began around then. It resembled a delightful second remarkable, scratched in memory," Rajagopalan told PTI in a meeting. https://www.srilankaweekly.co.uk/grammy-win-an-unforgettable-memory-violinist-ganesh-rajagopalan/
