Falu and Gaurav’s track “Abundance in Millets,” featuring PM Narendra Modi, has surprisingly secured a nomination at the 2024 Grammy Awards in the Best Global Music Performance category. The song delves into the significance of millets in the country’s progress. Created by Falu & Gaurav Shah, the track competes with formidable nominees like Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer & Shahzad Ismaily’s “Shadow Forces,” Burna Boy’s “Alone,” Davido’s “Feel,” Silvana Estrada’s “Milagro Y Disastre,” Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer & Zakir Hussain ft. Rakesh Chaurasia’s “Pashto,” and Ibrahim Maalouf ft. Cimafunk & Tank and the Bangas’ “Todo Colores.”

The creation of “Abundance in Millets” coincided with the celebration of the ‘International Year of the Millets.’ As mentioned on Falu’s website, the Indian government proposed the initiative, recognizing India’s status as one of the largest producers of this supergrain. The proposal garnered support from 72 countries and the United Nations General Assembly.

Describing the song’s intent and highlighting the importance of millets, the website states, “Millets are small-grained, warm-weather cereals cultivated mainly in India, and they played a significant role as staples for centuries. However, they gradually took a backseat and faced marginalization post the green revolution when the focus shifted to increased food grain production using high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice. ‘Abundance in Millets’ was created to raise awareness about this supergrain, positioning it as a potential key to alleviating world hunger.”
