She is simply unique: in the last three decades, Angélique Kidjo has consolidated her status as one of the most of the international music scene and has inspired countless artists with her seemingly boundless seemingly limitless creative spirit To call her merely a star of "world music" would not do justice to her artistic stature. On album, the four-time Grammy award-winning singer collaborates with many of her musical "offspring," including some of the best young creators of West African music, Afrobeat, Afro-pop, dancehall, hip-hop and R & B The result is a stirring work based on a deep understanding of musical traditions yet is vital, fresh and inventive.
