"Her spirit is irrepressible, and she brings life to everything she touches." Let her music touch your soul. Let her spirit fill you with life.
Peter Gabriel
"Angélique Kidjo is one of the African singers with more charm, charisma and performance power. The direct rhythms, strong, energetic, taken from the traditions of her homeland, Benin (Western Africa), are mingled in a subtle way with the sounds of reggae, samba, funk, gospel, zouk and many more. From this fusion a new rhythm is born that has the unmistakable stamp of Angélique Kidjo with touches of sensuality and dynamism contributed by her voice, a voice with that soul music quality that places her among the best female vocalists of the world, such as Miriam Makeba, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald.
On stage is where Kidjo lets loose her personality. Small, strong, agile, dynamic, she is a magnificent dancer. With her very short hair style, she is a real version of the "postmodern" African woman. In addition, she has the gift of communicating with her audience, a gift that is transmitted just as well live as on her CDs. "Even when I am singing alone in my own studio, I imagine that I am with my audience."

"As a composer and singer, Angélique Kidjo's music is recognized around the world. 2008 Grammy winner for Best Contemporary World Music Album, Kidjo's latest album, Djin Djin, features collaborations with the likes of Josh Groban, Alicia Keys and Joss Stone.
(…) "Music has been a communication tool since humankind has existed," Angélique says in a June 2007 Time magazine interview. "Music is a healer, a unifier. It breaks all the barriers between different nations. It relieves despair. It dampens war. Because when you listen to music, your brain is following your soul."
