The great Beninoise singer Angélique Kidjo here on the pulsating, head bobbing 'Dignity' featuring Nigerian singer Yemi Alade inspired by the youth-led movement to disband the corrupt Nigerian police unit the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. Kidjo says: “Many people think that police brutality only happens in America, but it’s everywhere. This song is against brutality, but it’s also about how we need to treat each other with dignity, treat nature with dignity, and treat ourselves with dignity. Because if we can’t see the dignity that Mother Nature gave to all of us, then how can we walk tall?”
