Amadou & Mariam When President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, he described the award as one "that speaks to our highest aspirations—that for all the cruelty and hardship of our world, we are not mere prisoners of fate. Our actions matter, and can bend history in the direction of justice." The following night, mus...icians from across the world gathered in Oslo to celebrate in that spirit. Amadou & Mariam joined artists like Lang Lang and Wyclef Jean and hosts Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith at the Oslo Spektrum for Friday's Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Prior to the concert, Amadou & Mariam were introduced to the President in Oslo. They said about the meeting: "We were proud to represent Africa during the Nobel Peace Prize celebrations and it was a great honor to have met President Barack Obama."
