Blend of Africa, Europe, and America - Angelique Kidjo s music is a blend of African (where she was born), European (where she lives) and America (where she draws much inspiration). Don t waste too much time trying to categorize it - just enjoy it as it is excellent. Her cover of Little Wing very interesting and her own compositions are good. The beat is so good that you don t mind if you don t understand the language of many songs.
Best of the best - If you are new to Angelique Kidjo then this is the best introduction to her range and power, spanning the wide spectrum of her styles from her African roots to more European/American influences. If you are new to African music, this is an easy introduction, and if you have other of her albums you ll want to add this. My only complaint - it was released before Black Ivory Soul, so doesn t include her more Brazilian music, which I love. Her voice is astonishing, her talent unique. I was lucky enough to see her live in Santa Cruz California a couple of years back and she could have filled the auditorium with her voice alone, without the aid of a microphone. She is one of those rare people who truly can sing astonishingly well. She blew me away.
