Grammy Winner, Angelique Kidjo, Arrives Lagos; Speaks Fluent Yoruba (Video)

Beninese singer-songwriter, Angelique Kidjo, is in Lagos days after her fourth Grammy win for Best World Music Album category.

The 59-year-old was at the premises of Smooth FM in Lagos on Tuesday.

“Eku ile. Se eji daada gbogboyin?” she says in Yoruba which translated means “Hope you woke up on the bright side.”

She is heard in the video saying the last time she was in Lagos she was 13.

During her acceptance speech at the Grammys, Kidjo dedicated the award to Burna Boy and celebrated a new generation of African artistes coming up to represent the continent.

Burna Boy has thanked her for the gesture, saying he loves her forever.
