Since the beginning of the war, the Ukrainian President and ex-comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyj has regularly addressed the world public with video messages from Kyiv. Same with this year’s Grammys.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent a video message to the US Grammys music awards ceremony asking for support for his country.
“What could be more antithetical to music than war?” Zelenskyy said via video message at the event in Las Vegas, which was broadcast live on US television. “Fill the silence with your music,” Zelenskyi asked. “Support us in any way you can.”
He dreams that people in the embattled Ukrainian cities could live freely again – “as freely as you do on the Grammy stage”. After that, US singer John Legend sang a song dedicated to Ukraine together with Ukrainian musicians. In the run-up to the Oscars gala last weekend, stars had demanded that Zelenskyj should be added, but nothing came of it.
The Grammys will be awarded for the 64th time this year. The gala was originally planned for January 31, but was then postponed due to the rapid spread of the highly infectious omicron variant of the corona virus. Around 13,000 members of the Recording Academy decide on the winners of the Grammys, which are among the most coveted music awards in the world.
