Manoj George, Dr K J Yesudas, and Fr Paul Poovathinkal have been recognised with two Global Music Awards for their work on the song Sarvesa, winning in the categories of Best Composition and Best Production.
Considered one of the world's most prestigious music awards after the Grammys, it recognizes musicians globally and this year saw over 22,000 submissions across diverse genres including classical, jazz, blues, world, folk, rock, contemporary, compositions, singers, and production.
This is the second time Manoj George is winning this title.
This album was released by
Pope Francis a couple of months back in Vatican City, Rome. The song was recorded with a diverse ensemble including 100 priests, 100 nuns, Rakesh Chaurasia, the Los Angeles Orchestra, and Ricky Kej, with music production by Fr Paul Poovathinkal and Manoj George.
I am very happy. This win brings a strong sense of recognition and, with it, a greater responsibility. It validates the work we're doing and inspires us to do even more
