Latindiartistas Around the World
"Latindiartistas" is our new segment featuring contemporary artists whose creative expressions are helping
bridge Indian and Latin cultures around the world. To launch Latindiartistas, our contributors bring to you
this exclusive interview with musician Anand Bhatt.
After several major releases in Tropical Fusion and Latin Pop, Anand Bhatt became the first Indian to serve
as a voting member of the Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Latin Grammys). This privileged
access to the Latin music establishment has exposed him to the latest sounds and trends in the industry,
and has allowed him to meet with some of his favorite musicians, such as Shakira, Los Tigres del Norte,
Gerardo Ortiz, Paulina Rubio, Jesse y Joy, Luis Enrique, Romeo Santos, Bebe Bellota and Arturo Sandoval,
among many notable celebrities.
Over the years Anand has masterfully pioneered “Latindian” fusion music by mixing and matching the
“rhythms, passion and romanticism of the Latin world with the sounds of celebration and intricacies of
Indian music.” Anand’s unique Latindian fusion is both fun and romantic.
There is no doubt that the cultural proximities between the Indian and Latin worlds are extensive. Anand
points out that “our beats are similar, our cultures are similar, our food is similar and our family values are
similar.” In fact, he says, “if you really think about it – we are ALL Latindian at heart.”
Apart from being an accomplished musician, Anand is also an actor, writer, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
He understands that “the struggle of being human is the desire for efficacy despite our ultimate fragility and
universal insignificance.” His goal is to have an impact wherever and whenever he can as part of a greater
challenge in life.
Latindia would like to congratulate Anand Bhatt for his incredible artistic accomplishments, and his efforts to
