"Africa's premier diva" (Time), vocalist Angélique Kidjo is a bona fide world music superstar, whose highly personal mix of styles combines powerful West African grooves, raw American R&B, driving samba beats, and sophisticated jazz harmonies. The BBC has included the Grammy winner in its list of Africa's 50 most iconic figures. A riveting performer, "[Kidjo's] supercharged pipes have never sounded better, her irresistible energy and joie de vivre never more palpable" (Los Angeles Times).
