Seun Kuti, 36, was nominated alongside the Egypt 80 band for his ‘Black Times’ album.

Following his nomination, he had said: “I really hope we will also win. This album is my best work. Just like my shows, I make sure that my last album has to be my best album.”

The ‘Black Times’ album was released in March and it earned him his first ever entry on the Billboard music charts.

Seun was one of the performers at Sunday’s showpiece, taking the stage at the prelude event ahead of the main ceremony.

Femi Kuti, his older brother, was nominated for the Grammys four times, but failed to win in 2003, 2010, 2012 and in 2014.

The Soweto Gospel Choir is the most successful African group in Grammy award history.
