Grammy Awards leave out Lata Mangeshkar from 'In Memoriam' section
Fans of Lata Mangeshkar are
disappointed after the melody queen was not included in the 'In Memoriam'
section of the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
The absence of the legendary Indian playback singer from the 2022
Grammys ceremony, held on early Monday morning in Las Vegas, comes a week after
the Academy Awards left out Mangeshkar from its homage segment as well.
Mangeshkar, the voice of generations of Indians, died on January 6
due to multiple organ failure. She was 92.
The fans took to Twitter to criticise the Recording Academy, the
institution that conducts Hollywood's biggest musical awards night, for
omitting Mangeshkar's name.
Calling out the Grammys for honouring only American music, a user
said the event felt "futile and insignificant".
"A little unrelated, but when they were paying tributes to
artists who passed away this year and there was no mention of Lata Mangeshkar-
India's most loved singer, it all felt so futile and insignificant. These shows
have no regard for 'global' music- only American."
Another wrote: "So both the Oscars and the
Grammys failed to honor the late great Lata Mangeshkar in
their respective memoriam segments? That's a shame. #GrammyAwards #Oscars"
A tweeple said not just Mangeshkar, the Grammys also left out veteran music
composer Bappi Lahiri (69). Lahiri died of obstructive sleep apnea on January
15, days after Mangeshkar's demise.
