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.
