Well said, I thought I was the only one who knew this fact that Nigerian music is still asleep. Lol all we have these days are beats with no lyrics or message.

A well deserved win to Kidjo.
The content of her songs are out of this world. She is a mix of Maya Angelou and Miriam Makeba.

Music lovers and genuine content critics like myself would have given up on the credibility and essence of the Grammy Awards if another undeserving artiste had won this.

Sentiments aside, Nigeria is yet to replicate another Fela Kuti in the global music sphere.
Fela is the only Nigerian deserving of a Grammy.

Because music is not about dancesteps or groupie trends but about a movement, a message, reawakening a consciousness and yet the melody.
This is a reality lost on today's Nigerian artistes aside from Asa who lacks in consistency.

Till your music can be accepted by Pastors, Imams, Youths, elders, global leaders, United Nations and illiterates, then you stand a chance of being an African Album or winning a foreign award in Music.

Nigeria and Nigerians must understand that club bangers do not translate to foreign awards in global music.

This is wrong. Beyoncé, Eminem, MJ's 'Thriller', Taylor Swift's '1989', and even Jay Z have all won the Grammy Album of the year award.

Most of the their albums are club bangers, and widely accepted by younger generations. I can't imagine any of Jay Z's, and Eminem songs that will will be accepted by religious leaders.

Most educated folks don't even understand Eminem's raps because he is always dissing the world and lacing his materials with double and triple entendres.

The category is much more beyond acceptability and the class or category of people your album resonate with. Kidjo will still return and win another next year as always.
my thoughts exactly.. You got it

I just tire. Jay Z that sings alot of sex, money, weed, crack, has a closet full of Grammy nominations and the gong itself. So I don't know

Your comment lured me to go and listen to the song "we are one", the award was so deserving. Even with a bias heart, one can't compare her song to Burna" s. Congratulations Ma'am.

the Grammy is majorly an american award a lot of people saying burna can't win a Grammy because of music quality,remember artist like cardi b and other rappers with so much profanity in their music have won in the past,while I admit Nigeria still lacks music depth a lot of popular american artist still do not have much musical depth too

Wetin concern agbero and overload. Wetin concern Nairaland jambites and Marlians with deep, meaningful and philosophical music.

If they cannot hear expletives or be able to dance to it like a polio patient or someone suffering from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, it's boring. grin

Now watch the attitude of Nigerians.

How they will now bring the hype of this great artist to the minimum.

I've always stood for Burna Boy right from the "Like to Party" song. Always giving us good music with originality.
