NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chandrika Tandon has received a Grammy® nomination for her New Age album Triveni, which has been nominated for a 2025 Grammy® Award in the Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album category. "Triveni" is a groundbreaking collaboration between Grammy®-winning South African flutist Wouter Kellerman, Japanese-American cellist Eru Matsumoto, and South Asian-American singer/songwriter/producer Tandon.

"Triveni" merges three dynamic musicians from diverse backgrounds who have united to create a healing musical experience, blending ancient mantras with the soothing sounds of flute and cello. Their mission is to explore their cultural roots, find common ground, and build bridges between their varied experiences, spreading healing energy globally.

"The album is a true confluence of three artistic spirits united in a higher purpose of music for healing," says Tandon. "These mantras hold profound meaning, recognizing our inner fullness – ancient words with vibrations far beyond our comprehension. This nomination will allow more people to experience their own healing power."

This is Tandon's second Grammy® nomination, she was previously nominated in 2011 in the Contemporary World Music category for Soul Call, a melding of Carnatic, Hindustani, and Western influences.

In addition to her deep immersion in Vedic chants and Indian classical music, global business leader and humanitarian Tandon leads a multi-dimensional life with leadership initiatives in the worlds of education, music, and philanthropy, with a focus on empowerment and unity. Profiled in print, radio, and TV, including CNBC's The Brave Ones, she was recently honored with the Ban-Ki Moon Award for Women's Empowerment and Diwali at Times Square's Woman of the Year Award. She recently performed with the Young People's Chorus of NYC at Diwali at Times Square, for an audience of 300,000, and India's Prime Minister and 13,000 people at Nassau Coliseum.
