The Grammy Awards ceremony delivered its results last night. Once once more, the Beninese artist, Angélique Kidjo was crowned.
The 64th Annual Grammy Awards were held tonight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Once once more, the Beninese mega-star has confirmed his status as a monster of African and world music. She won the Grammy for Best World Music Album once morest Nigerians Wizkid and Femi Kuti, with the opus Mother Nature. The fifth Grammy Award of his career, following those of 2007 with the album Djin Djinfrom 2014 with Eve, of 2015 with Sings and 2020 with Celia. A perfect average for the artist who has been named a total of 10 times for five successes.
L’album Mother Nature, which brought this new distinction to the diva of Beninese music, benefited from the collaboration of certain big names in African music that Angélique Kidjo did not fail to thank from the stage of the Grammy Awards: “When I win [mon dernier] Grammy, I said young African musicians were going to take the world by storm. So, I want to thank them: Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, Sting, Mr Eazi, Zeynab, Lionel Lueke…”.
On the list of people thanked, there are of course the fans: “And to all the fans, music lovers, you are always there when we need you. When you listen, we move forward. We are all Africans, concludes the new nominee who must perform from tomorrow in Seattle and then in Arizona.
It should be noted that Angélique Kidjo is not the only African star to carry the torch of the continent for this edition of the Grammy Awards. At his side, there is also the South African DJ, Black Coffee, who won the prize for Best Electronic Album of the Year, with Subconsciously.
