Bukola Saraki’s Son, Seni Wins Grammy Award
Seni Saraki, the Son of former Senate President Bukola Saraki has won an award at the 67th Grammy Awards.
Didactic Information Hut reports that Seni won his first Grammy for his contribution to the Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack, which won Best Reggae Album.
Excited by the feat, Senator Saraki took to his X handle to congratulate his Son. Saraki who expressed his joy at seeing his son’s passion recognised on a global stage, added that he is “super proud” of him.
“Congratulations, Seni, on winning your first Grammy last night for your work on the Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack, which took home the award for Best Reggae Album!” he wrote.
“Seeing you pour your heart into your passion and having it recognised on the global stage is an indescribable joy. Well done! We are super proud of you!”
In His response to the win, Seni appreciated all the artists and producers who contributed to the project’s success, including Nigeria’s Wizkid and Bloody Civilian.
“I appreciate all the amazing artistes, producers and engineers who were brave enough to take on this project because it is about Bob Marley’s legacy,” he said.
“I appreciate them for taking on the songs, reinterpreting them, and doing it their own way. Artists like Bloody Civilian, Wizkid, Daniel Caesar, and Jessie Reyez.”
Bob Marley One Love is a biopic of the life of reggae icon Bob Marley, exploring how he overcame adversity and the path behind his revolutionary music. This is not Cenni’s first major recognition in the industry: in 2023, the soundtrack for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a project he worked on as a musical consultant, was nominated for four Grammy Awards.
Seni, who is a graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science, is the CEO of The Native, a Lagos-based music magazine he co-founded with Teni ‘Teezee’ Zaccheaus in 2016. The publication celebrates music, style, and art while championing African sounds and culture.
