This album is dedicated to the women of Africa — to their beauty and resilience. Women of Africa — you rock! For me, music is a weapon of peace, and today more than ever, as artists we have a role to play in the stability of this world.
This is Kidjo’s second Grammy. She won her first back in 2007 for her album ‘Djin Djin.’
Congrats!
