Angelique Kidjo's striking voice, vibrant stage presence and fluency in multiple languages takes audiences on an enthralling musical journey that spans the globe. The Benin native derives inspiration from her African roots, as well as many diverse musical styles, from salsa and samba, to reggae and rock and roll. Peter Gabriel sums it up best: "Angelique Kidjo's spirit is irrepressible and she brings life to everything she touches."
