Over the course of her successful career, African-born songstress Angélique Kidjo has spread her rhythmic Afro-funk fusion to the four corners of the globe. With her fun-loving personality, on-stage charisma and totally unique voice, Ms. Kidjo is certainly one of the most popular artists on the current world scene. Her work cross-pollinates the West African traditions of her childhood in Benin with elements of American R&B, funk and jazz, as well as influences from Europe and Latin America. Djin Djin, her 10th CD, garnered her a fourth Grammy nomination and her first win.
