Alicia Augello Cook, known professionally as Alicia Keys, is an American R&B singer-songwriter, pianist, musician, record producer, and actress,and is one of the few foreign artistes who have begun to appreciate African music especially Nigerian songs.
Recently, Alicia Keys hipped praises on the song of Afro-beat Legend, Femi Kuti, titled ‘No Place for my Dream,’ stating that the song...
gives her inspiration.
It would be recalled that the Nigerian music legend was nominated for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards with 3 other artistes.
He lost out to French group Gipsy Kings and South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It was a tie.
Though the son of the late Afro Beat legend Fela Kuti, has been nominated severally for the Grammys but has never won it before, but his music continues to receive accolades from both local and international audience.
