At the 2016 58th Grammy Award held on the 15 of February at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, in the United States of America, one of African’s queens, Angelique Kidjo was honoured along with other superstars.
The Beninese-born superstar won the 58th Grammy Award for the Best World Music Album for “Sings”, which is a collection of African songs infused with Western classical traditions, and performed with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg. This is her third time winning a Grammy Award.

In her words, Kidjo said, “I want to dedicate this Grammy to all the traditional musicians in Africa, in my country, to all the young generation”. She further said that “Africa is on the rise, and Africa is joyful”.
Kidjo was ecstatic as she approached the stage to receive her award while dancing to James Brown’s ‘I feel good’ performed by the pit orchestra.
We toast cheers to her success.
