Angelique's tribute to Cuban singer Celia Cruz was released on April 19, 2019. It is produced by David Donatien and featured Tony Allen ,
Meshell Ndegeocello and the Gangbe Brass Band . The Guardian has called the album "magnificent" [20] and The Financial Times gave it 5 stars.



The same the Guardian that just gave cold play's new album that's about to be released in the US tomorrow a mixed review. A cold play album that's better than their previous 4 albums.

The news currently getting Nigeria News 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 Naija 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 .

you are a typical anglophile . When the francophones says that an anglophile is "blocage Mentale" ,this is what they mean.

Boy, you need to wake up and start hearing songs out of the "English" speaking zone and embrace other people's music as well learn to accept it is good.

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

@bold

Grammy Awards doesn't consider all of those when it comes to giving the award to a winner. The voting is not even done by fans who would consider all you listed. It is done by music executives and insiders who are totally musically inclined. They know quality when they see one. Yes, Burna Boy is quality, but he can't be compared to Angelique Kidjo, except we want to use Nigerian sentiment, a thing these voters don't use. Burna Boy would win the award based on politics. But on talent and achievement internationally in this year alone, Angelique Kidjo has this locked down.

Mama is good no doubt. But even mama should leave this for her baby na; because I'm sure Kidjo's first child will be far older than Burna.
Mama has got nothing to prove to us all anymore. And again if Burna wins, it's a win for Mama as well because she's on the album.

Wow! I've been hearing her songs for so long but I never have the idea of her name to be "Angelique Kidjo" indeed the woman is a big threat to Burna, I just wish Burna wins the award.

Yes she is good

But that Celia album she is nominated for isn't so good to me, best I would rate it is 4/5 while I would rate African giant 5/5

Why ? Most songs in the Celia album are mostly reworked salsa tributes of the late Celia , after the first 5 tracks I got bored , yes she added African spins to all but still not enough to keep me

But African giant is a journey into the surreal world of afro fussion , it's like an LSD trip

Cheers




That's your own opinion...For me, Burna Boy bores me with his tasteless music....
