The kirtan-centric Bhakti Without Borders, by Madi Das, nabbed a nomination for Best New Age album, marking only the third time a kirtan album has received that honor. During a second round of voting, which ends in mid-January, members choose one nominee per category that they believe deserves a Grammy Award. By early November, members vote for one album per category that they believe should be nominated for a Grammy. Here’s how the voting process works: albums that meet the eligibility requirements are included on the first ballot, which goes out to the Recording Academy’s 13,000 voting members in October. Unless you’re in the music industry, you probably don’t know exactly what that means.
