Former Nigerian Senate President Bukola Saraki commended his son Seni on winning his first Grammy Award.

The award was granted for his work to the Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack, which won Best Reggae Album at the 67th Grammy Awards.

Bukola Saraki shared his satisfaction and joy on social media platform X, praising his son on his accomplishment.

“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! 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!”, he said.

Seni Saraki also shared his gratitude, thanking the talented artists and producers who worked on the project, including Nigerian musicians Wizkid and Bloody Civilian.

He appreciated their bravery in taking on the project and reinterpreting Bob Marley’s iconic songs in their own unique way.

This achievement is not Seni’s first major industry recognition.

In 2023, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, which he worked on as a music consultant, earned four Grammy nominations.

As the CEO of The Native, a Lagos-based music magazine, Seni continues to champion African sounds and culture.

The Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack is a part of a biographical film that explores the life of the reggae icon, highlighting his journey and the revolutionary music that has inspired generations.
