Angelique Kidjo, a globally celebrated African singer, made history last week by becoming the first African artist to receive a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. Known for her distinctive voice, cultural pride, and genre-defying music that blends African music with Western styles, Kidjo now stands as a beacon of success, not just for herself but for the entire African music scene. This remarkable milestone marks a new chapter for Black African women in music and highlights the increasing global influence of African culture.
