Best Global Music Performance (Vocals) "Tumi Robe Nirobe" — Aninda Bose
A timeless Indian classic, reimagined for the world stage.
Originally composed in 1895 by Rabindranath Tagore—India’s first Nobel Laureate and one of the world’s most revered literary and musical figures—Tumi Robe Nirobe (“You Will Remain, In Silence”) is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on presence, absence, and eternal love. Written in Bengali, the song’s lyrics evoke a quiet emotional intensity that transcends language and borders.
In this contemporary reimagining, Aninda Bose—a versatile vocalist and multi-instrumentalist—pays homage to Tagore’s legacy while giving the composition a global resonance. Aninda’s heartfelt performance offers a modern vocal interpretation of this 19th-century masterpiece, rooted in tradition yet attuned to a global sensibility.
Rabindranath Tagore
Rabindranath Tagore, born on May 7, 1861, was a celebrated poet, philosopher, and artist from India, known for his immense contribution to literature and music. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his work Gitanjali. While his literary works remain influential, Tagore’s music, known as Rabindra Sangeet, is equally significant. He composed over 2,000 songs, blending classical, folk, and contemporary styles to create a distinctive musical tradition that has shaped Bengali culture.
Tagore’s music was deeply intertwined with his poetry, with many of his poems being transformed into songs that resonate with spiritual, philosophical, and emotional themes. His songs remain central to Bengali cultural identity, with their influence extending to the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Tagore’s work in both music and literature left a lasting legacy, bridging traditional and modern artistic expressions.
