The legendary
Fela Kuti has been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys. He is the
African to get the award. A Grammy award recognises
achievements in music. Kuti died in 1997, but he left an
legacy. Kuti's daughter told Al Jazeera that the award was "better
than never". She said "we still have a
to go" to recognise musicians from Africa. She said her father didn't
about awards. She said: "He played
because he loved music. It was to be acknowledged by his
...that made him
."
