Whatever happens, he remains a winner to us. The eldest son of Afro-beat Legend, Femi kuti has for the fourth time lost out in the Grammy Awards again. The saxophonist was nominated in the 56th edition of the prestigious music awards in the ‘World Music’ category, for his album ‘No Place For My Dream’. But the award was clinched by two music groups (a tie); French group Gipsy Kings and South Africa male choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Below is the full list of winners.
