Angelique wins her fourth Grammy with her album CELIA
This marks Kidjo's fourth Grammy win. Her album Celia pays homage to the late Afro-Cuban singer Celia Cruz, who Kidjo described as someone who "never shied away from her African heritage," in an interview with OkayAfrica last year.
“Angelique Kidjo never shied away from her African heritage”
While accepting her award, the singer took the time to praise the wealth of new talent coming from the continent.
“The new generation of artists coming from Africa are going to take you by storm, and the time has come.”
