White Sun, a Santa Monica-based band comprising Gurujas, Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa and Adam Berry, has won the Grammys for Best New Age Album for their album "White Sun II."
The trio is known for their musical interpretations of Yogic mantras. They saw off competition from Irish singer-songwriter Enya and pianist John Burke to win their maiden Grammy gong, reported Los Angeles Times.
With Berry and instrumentalist Harijiwan flanking her, White Sun's lead singer and songwriter Gurujas accepted the trophy, saying, "We just want our music to make something better for somebody somewhere. And it's our dream to see this world become a more beautiful place. For anyone who shares in that dream with us, thank you, we love you and let's do better."
"White Sun II," which features Grammy-winning kora player Mamadou Diabate, the Punch Brothers' violinist Gabe Witcher and Hyderabad tabla player Abhiman Kaushal, was a breakout New Age hit in 2016, where it was a top-charter at both Apple and iTunes.
