An African superstar with a big voice
and an even bigger heart.
Angélique Kidjo has become a symbol of African
creativity and energy. Her music is a unique
combination of her western African roots with
funk, soul and Latino music.
Angélique Kidjo is in more than one way one of
the strongest voices of the African continent.
She is politically active, particularly in relation
to Africa’s present and future. She intentionally
uses her music as a platform for communication
between her own culture and the widely varying
cultures around the world.

‘Electric and explosive’, ‘soul and funk’, ‘Africa’s
Premier Diva’; these are just a few of the epithets in reviews of Kidjo’s music and stage presence. She has collaborated with great names in
a variety of genres, including Alicia Keys, James
Brown and Philip Glass. Her musical fireworks
make it impossible to sit still and listen, while
her power and musicality hit you straight in
the heart.
Angélique Kidjo won the Grammy for Best World
Music Album in 2016 for the album Sings.
