" During her interview with the BBC,
the musician's phone kept ringing
with those wanting to congratulate her.
"Yesterday I received the call of the president of Benin,"
she said.
"Today I received the call of Chris Blackwell,
the founder of Island Records, the producer of Bob Marley,
the maker of U2 and so on and so forth."
Kidjo explained how fundamental Blackwell,
who signed her in the 1990s, had been to her success - launching her breakthrough album Logozo.
"I said to him at that moment…
'Can I do the music I want to do
and keep my cultural identity
without anyone imposing any other music on my shoulder?'
He said … 'It's a no brainer.' "
