iGFM – (Dakar) Moment historique. Le 18 ao\u00fbt 2026, Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo est devenue la premi\u00e8re artiste musicale africaine \u00e0 recevoir son \u00e9toile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame, \u00e0 Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La chanteuse b\u00e9nino-fran\u00e7aise, ic\u00f4ne de la musique africaine, voit ainsi son nom grav\u00e9 sur la c\u00e9l\u00e8bre constellation d\u2019\u00e9toiles en terrazzo d\u2019Hollywood Boulevard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cette distinction c\u00e9l\u00e8bre plus de quarante ans de carri\u00e8re internationale et ses cinq prix Grammy. Un parcours qui fait d\u2019elle l\u2019une des voix les plus influentes du continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour figurer sur le Walk of Fame, cr\u00e9\u00e9 dans les ann\u00e9es 1950, il faut \u00eatre s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9 et s\u2019acquitter d\u2019environ 85 000 dollars aupr\u00e8s de la Chambre de commerce locale. Une \u00e9tape franchie pour l\u2019artiste de 65 ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Si sa musique a fait le tour du monde, Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo s\u2019est aussi distingu\u00e9e par son engagement.
Ambassadrice de l\u2019Unicef depuis 2002, elle milite depuis des d\u00e9cennies pour l\u2019\u00e9ducation des filles, l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 femmes-hommes et les droits des enfants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u2019est donc une double cons\u00e9cration: artistique et humanitaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00e9sormais, les passants pourront observer l\u2019\u00e9toile d\u2019Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de celles de Britney Spears, Bugs Bunny ou encore Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avec cette premi\u00e8re pour une artiste africaine, \u00ab\u00a0Mama Africa\u00a0\u00bb fait entrer tout un continent dans la l\u00e9gende d\u2019Hollywood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
