With a “canyon-filling voice” (Billboard) and equally strong social commitment, Angélique Kidjo is a truly transnational superstar. Her Grammy–winning (including one this year) music blends grooves from her native West Africa as well as R&B, jazz, samba and more—and her “appeal cuts across not only genres, but also generations” (Boston Globe). A UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and a tireless crusader for women’s and children’s rights, Kidjo infuses her unforgettable live performances with a transformative message of human possibility and an irresistible appeal to get up and dance.
