C’est pas la fête tous les jours mais chaque jour se fête alors je vous souhaite une très bonne journée ! Je vous embrasse Christophe

I strongly believe that children are our future, and as such this Sunday was an important moment for me. ❤️ I had the chance to sing with 1,000 children at the prestigious @theatrechatelet for the beautiful Olympiades project by La Cité Des Marmots and La Cité Des Minots, initiated by @villesdesmusiquesdumonde and @lenomad13 . 🎼 For a year, they all learned my songs and performed them yesterday with the l’Orchestre national d’Île-de-France (@ondif ) conducted by Rémi Durupt (@duruptremi ), and @amenviana on guitar. Seeing them all so talented and dedicated really gave me hope for our future. Thank you to all the children and the teaching staff for the hard work and commitment throughout the year. The result was even better than I had hoped! 🙏🏿 #angeliquekidjo #theatreduchatelet #symphonicorchestra #olympiadeculturelle

We’re thrilled to announce that we are embarking on a path to extend our efforts to support music creators on a global scale. The #RecordingAcademy has agreements with Ministers of Cultures and key stakeholders across the Middle East and Africa to collaborate on a framework to bolster the Academy’s presence and services in these rapidly growing music regions. The Academy is working with the Ministries of Culture in Kenya, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and Nigeria, the Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), and the Ministry of Sport, Arts, and Culture in South Africa. Additionally, MOUs have been signed with Ghana and the Ivory Coast. This exploration into the Middle East and Africa is only the first phase of plans to support music creators abroad and comes the same year the Academy celebrates the 25th anniversary of the @LatinGRAMMYs , and months after Seville hosted the Latin GRAMMY Awards, the first GRAMMY Awards show to be held overseas. Also, last year, the Recording Academy partnered with the U.S. State Department on an initiative to promote peace through music. Click the link in our bio to explore several of the key initiatives that align with our mission and these collaborations, which include: 🎶 Championing music creators at all levels, providing them with a platform and advocacy. 🎶 Advocating for strong Intellectual Property (IP) legislation and protections for music creators. 🎶 Enhancing support for existing members. Cross-cultural learnings will benefit all music creators, and a presence in these rapidly growing music regions would provide numerous benefits to the Recording Academy’s current and future members. 🎶 As a cornerstone of this initiative, the Academy will publish a series of reports, highlighting the Academy’s research and insights into these music markets.

Riot in Pennsylvania!!!
