Music transcends boundaries and so it came as no surprise that Indian-origin-British musician Anoushka Shankar performed with Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab at Sunday's Grammy awards which were held in Los Angeles. The artists had collaborated on 'Udhero Na' last year and performed the haunting song on the Grammy stage on Sunday night.&nbsp; 
 
This year, Anoushka was nominated in the Best Global Music Performance and Best Global Music Album categories.&nbsp; She however lost in both categories. Wouter Kellerman, Zakes Bantwini and Nomcebo Zikode took home the Global Music Performance award for 'Bayethe' and 'Sakura' by Masa Takumi won the Music Album Grammy.
