Beninese singer and songwriter Angélique Kidjo brings a wide-ranging musical vision to a career spanning more than four decades. Her powerful vocals and rhythm-rich sound move across West African traditions, Afrobeats, funk and pop, connecting musical influences across borders. A five-time Grammy winner, she has earned the honor for albums including Djin Djin, Eve, Celia and Mother Nature; her 2018 reinvention of Talking Heads’ Remain in Light is another landmark in her adventurous catalog.
