Why I don’t make political music – Angelique Kidjo

Renowned Beninese singer and Grammy Award winner Angelique Kidjo has cautioned musicians against using their art to glorify politicians or political parties.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Female Poets Society podcast, Kidjo explained that she deliberately avoids making music for politicians because political power is temporary. She warned that artists who tie their relevance to political figures risk fading away once those in power leave office.

“My father always used to say to us, especially to me as a singer, do not write music for any political party because they come and they go, and once they’re gone, you go with it,” she recalled.

Kidjo urged her fellow artists to remain independent and use their music to represent the people, not political interests.

“Write your music with your opinions, be free writing your music. Don’t be sold to somebody because therefore, you don’t become the voice of the people anymore, you become the voice of the power. And when that power shifts, you’re off the window,” she said.

The celebrated singer emphasized that musicians should use their platforms to speak truth to power and reflect the struggles and hopes of ordinary people.

Producer and music executive Michael Collins Ajereh popularly known as Don Jazzy has revealed why he nearly abandoned the music industry and relocated abroad following the 2012 collapse of Mo’Hits Records, the label he co-founded with singer D’banj.

In an interview with ‘Rolling Stone’, Don Jazzy disclosed that the abrupt dissolution of Mo’Hits, triggered by irreconcilable differences between him and D’banj, left him convinced his career was over.

“When Mo’Hits ended, I thought that was it. I almost packed up to move abroad. But friends encouraged me to stay and start again, and Mavin Records was born. Since then, I’ve learned not to let anything break me”, he said.

The split marked the end of one of Afrobeats’ most successful partnerships, which had produced hits like “Tongolo,” “Why Me,” and “Fall in Love.”
