Legendary sitar maestro Pt Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushka Shankar will be competing against each other at the 55th Grammy Awards, with both being nominated in the same category of Best World Music Album.
Pt Ravi Shankar, a three-time Grammy award winner, had recorded the album last year, with his long-time tabla companion Tanmoy Bose at his home in California.
His 31-year-old daughter Anoushka Shankar, who has been nominated twice for the award in the past, has managed a nomination in the same category with her album Traveller which explores the links between Indian music and Spanish dance style flamenco.
Apart from competing with each other, the father-daughter duo are pitted against Hugh Masekela, Daniel Ho, and Amadou and Mariam who are part of the category with their albums Jabulani, On A Gentle Island Breeze and Folila respectively.
The 2013 Grammy Awards will take place in Los Angeles on February 10.
