Kidjo, Cleveland and I’m With Her among the Grammy winners

Africa’s premier diva, Angélique Kidjo, took home the prize for Best World Music Album with Celia, her wonderful tribute to salsa superstar Celia Cruz (reviewed in #148), while it was a forthcoming Top of the World pick, Indiana-born fiddle-player Michael Cleveland who topped the Best Bluegrass Album category with his high-octane hoedown collection, Tall Fiddler (check out the review in #155). There was also Grammy glory for I’m With Her, aka singer-songwriters Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan and Sara Watkins, who came out victors in the Best American Roots Song category, with their hauntingly hypnotic cut, ‘Call My Name’.
