Seun Kuti is expected to share the stage with Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara for a performance at the premiere ceremony for the 61st GRAMMY Awards.
On Instagram, Seun Kuti is in a mood of obvious excitement as he contemplates his Grammy performance.
The Afrobeat singer and his band Kuti & Egypt 80 have been nominated in the Best World Music Album category for “Black Times” released on March 2, 2018.
Kuti’s performance will be accessible to online viewers who visit Grammy’s website on Sunday, February 10, 2019.
Seun Kuti’s Grammy nomination in the Best World Music Album grouping is his first. He carries on a family trend of being named for an award at the Grammys. His older brother Femi Kuti has already been nominated four times.
The latter has not been able to take home any of the awards. He was first nominated in the World Music class in 2003. And then in 2010, 2012 and 2013.
