What do the ageless diva Asha Bhosle, sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar's daughter Anoushka Shankar and Anoushka's halfsister, singer Norah Jones have in common? They have all been nominated for the Grammy Awards 2005. Asha and Anoushka have been nominated in the category of best contemporary world music album, while Norah received a

nomination in the best pop collaboration with vocals category, announced last Thursday.

Asha has been nominated for her collaboration with American band Kronos in You've Stolen My Heart: Songs from RD Burman's Bollywood.

Anoushka's album Rise is competing in the same category as Asha's, while Norah has been nominated for Viriginia Moon, a collaborative album

with the band Foo Fighers.

This is the second Grammy nomination for Bhosle. In a statement given last Friday, she said, “I am delighted. I thank my fans and well-wishers for their support.”

The award function will be held in Los Angeles in February.
