Popular Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo has shared her opinion on musicians using their music to praise or promote politicians and political parties.
The Grammy-winning music icon explained that she doesnt make music for politicians because political powers are ephemeral, emphasing that an artist who make music for politicians might lose relevance after a regime change.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Female Poets Society podcast, Kidjo urged her colleagues to be voices of the people and not voices of the power.
