Angelique Kidjo


I was looking forward to Angelique Kidjo’s February 9th Album Release "OYO"
But it seems that she has pushed it back to add a collaboration with a yet unknown artist. So now I have to wait until April .
If your not familiar with Angelique Kidjo I’ll give you the quick run down.
Angelique Kidjo
Born in Benin (West Africa), Angelique Kidjo is a Grammy award-winning music recording artist deemed "Africa's premier diva" by Time Magazine. Kidjo's internationally acclaimed repertoire includes collaborations with various recording artists such as Carlos Santana, Peter Gabriel, Alicia Keys, Josh Groban, Branford Marsalis, Joss Stone, and many more. Known for her dynamic and uplifting music, she has translated her distinctive work in the arts to that of philanthropy; by promoting education for girls in Africa through her foundation, Batonga and as a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador Kidjo travels the world to inspire and empower.


Regardless of your nationality, once you here the voice of Angelique Kidjo she will bring you back to the mother land.

If you don't believe me visit her website and listen for your self.
