Legendary Beninese-born singer, Angelique Kidjo, rocked her African
print to the 2016 Grammy awards which held in Los Angeles yesterday
night. Angelique won her third Grammy and dedicated it to aspiring
artists on the continent. She won the Grammy for Best World Music Album
for "Sings," a collection of her songs infused with Western classical
traditions in a collaboration with the Orchestre Philharmonique du
Luxembourg.
This is the second straight year that Kidjo has won the Best World Music
Album prize, after last year's "Eve" that paid tribute to African
women.
A visibly excited Kidjo, ran to the stage to accept the award and danced
to James Brown's "I Feel Good," performed by a pit orchestra.
"I want to dedicate this Grammy to all the traditional musicians in
Africa, in my country, to all the young generation. Africa is on the
rise, Africa is positive, Africa is joyful. Let's get together and be
one with music, and say no to hate and violence," she said
