Ravi Shankar's posthumous Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award was accepted by his daughters at a pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles on Saturday (February 9).
Anoushka Shankar, a gifted sitar-player herself, and award-winning singer Norah Jones, accepted the award on behalf of their late father at a ceremony at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in California.
Leonard Cohen has been awarded the prestigious Glenn Gould Prize, dubbed the "Nobel Prize of the Arts".
The award is presented biennially to "an individual for a unique lifetime contribution that has enriched the human condition through the arts."
Cohen was selected by an international panel of judges, which included film director Atom Egoyan and Stephen Fry.
Cohen accepted the award on Monday night [May 14] at Toronto's Massey Hall, along with the $50,000 prize money, which he then donated to the Canada Council for the Arts.
