Angélique Kidjo, Musician
Spokesperson for the International Year of Microcredit 2005
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
Angélique Kidjo is one of the most electrifying performers
in the pop world today, and she's also one of its most forward and
creative thinkers, an artist whose mission has been to explore the
relationships of diverse musical cultures. While she has steeped her
music in the tribal and pop rhythms of her West African heritage, the
Benin-born, Paris/Brooklyn-based Kidjo has crossed musical boundaries
by blending a variety of styles, including funk, salsa, jazz, rumba,
souk and makossa. Sample her music at http://www.angeliquekidjo.com/
