Why Angelique Kidjo Is Burna Boy’s Biggest Threat In Grammy Awards Category by LifestyleTonite: 11:14am On Nov 21, 2019 |
The news currently getting Nigerians excited is the Grammy Awards nomination of African Giant album by Burna Boy. Burna Boy got nominated for Best World Music Album. Best World Music Album: Gece — Altin Gün What Heat — Bokanté & Metropole Orkest Conducted By Jules Buckley African Giant — Burna Boy Fanm D’ayiti — Nathalie Joachim With Spektral Quartet Celia — Angelique Kidjo While many Nigerians believe he would bring the award home, no one seems to be taking into consideration the competition against him. Right about now, his biggest competition from Africa is Angelique Kidjo who has been nominated nine times and won 3 times. Two out of the three awards she has won came from the Best World Music Album category, while the third award was gotten from the Best Contemporary World Music Album category. Asides the fact that she has won the award three times, Angelique Kidjo has had a successful year in music. She has shut down many top European and American concert arenas with awesome live performances. Some of the concert arenas she shut down this year: Royal Albert Hall Elbphilharmonie in Hambourg Auditorium Parco della Musica – Roma Villa Arconati – Milano Carrington at Kongsberg jazz festival, Norway Her concert schedule sees her preparing to perform in more top European and American auditoriums. With all these, it is quite clear that it won’t be a walk in the park for Burna Boy. Below are pictures from her concerts as found on her Instagram Page . https://wotzup.ng/why-angelique-kidjo-is-burna-boys-biggest-threat-in-grammy-awards-category/ 22 Likes 4 Shares

We know she is his biggest threat, but what is the point of winning, if the competition is weak? Burna Boy is the new age of African music, and possibly the youngest Nigerian act from Nigeria to get a nomination this century. He did it without being snuck into an international artiste's album or song. This is his original work and just being a Grammy nominee will boost his CV. I doubt Angelique won it at her first go anyway 266 Likes 15 Shares |

Of cos we all know that. When I saw her name there, I was like...lobatan! I think we should just beg her to leave this for us. After all, she's won many times before I've listened to some tracks in the Celia album. It's an album in memory of Celia Cruz, a Spanish woman 72 Likes 2 Shares |

She deserves it a lot more. She's more well-known all over the world than Burna Boy, has had more impact, hits, etc. I can't say the same for Burna Boy right now but he can still win one day if he keeps up his efforts. 25 Likes 1 Share |
