Afro-dite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Afro-dite was a Swedish group made up of three pop singers. The group consisted of Blossom Tainton-Lindquist, Gladys del Pilar and Kayode Shekoni.

• Blossom has already been in showbusiness for a long time. She sings and dances, played in several musicals and even hosted tv-shows on Swedish television.
• Gladys, born in Ecuador, came to Sweden when she was only 7 years old. She worked with Dr. Alban and Denniz Pop but her final breakthrough was when she appeared in ABBA - the true story.
• Kayode is another multitalented woman. She is not only a singer, but also an actress, tv-show host and model. In the eighties she sang with the pop group Freestyle and in the ninetees she fronted the eurodance project Le Click.

Afro-dite came together to sing the song "Never let it go" for the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. The song was originally meant to be sung by Alcazar but they refused. In Eurovision, Afro-dite reached the 8th place. They split up after a second try in the national selections for the Eurovision Song Contest 2003.
