Grammy award-winning singer Angelique Kidjo is one of Africa's most powerful and charismatic stars, mixing driving dance rhythms and passionate political lyrics with her own extraordinary stage presence. She reaches huge numbers internationally with her recordings, tours and philanthropic work, her joy and passion embodying the spirit of Africa.
After a string of classic albums on Island, and collaborations with Alicia Keys, Bono, John Legend and Dianne Reeves, Kidjo's high-octane sound blends melodies from her traditional Benin roots, rhythm and blues, soul music and
jazz.
