Mumbai: Indian music composers and Grammy winners Ricky Cage and rock-legend Stewart Copeland (The Police) received Grammy Awards for their latest album “Divine Tides” at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. The producer of this album is South India’s biggest music label Lahari Music. The awards took place last night in Las Vegas where Ricky Cage and Stewart Copeland were honored with the award for Best New Age Album for Divine Tides. Its YouTube distribution rights are with T-Series.
On this special occasion, Ricky in his traditional style greeted the audience with ‘Namaste’ and said, “Winning my second Grammy Award today is a real experience for me. The album Divine Tides is a successful collaboration with the living legend and greatest drummer of all time, Stewart Copeland, who has won five Grammy Awards and is the drummer of the legendary band, The Police. We collaborated on this album for almost a year and it was shot remotely as most of it was made during the pandemic. In such a situation, meeting him in person in Las Vegas just 7 days ago was a wonderful experience. I grew up listening to Stewart’s music since childhood, so being on stage with him and winning an award is a really unreal experience. I dedicate this award to 75 years of India’s independence, this ‘Azadi Festival’ is a milestone for India and it is a great year for me to win the award for India!”
G Manoharan, CMD, Lahiri Music, said about the Prestigious Award win, “The coming together of music geniuses Stewart Copeland and Ricky Cage cannot be ignored. The album, Divine Tides is produced by Lahiri Music and nothing could be better than this victory for India and for us.
