Angelique Kidjo is one of Africa ’s most exciting
artists. She fuses the West African traditions of her childhood with elements of
American R&B, funk and jazz, as well as influences from Europe and Latin
America. Kidjo considered becoming a human rights lawyer, but decided she could reach
more people through music. She serves as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. “I
believe music is a language beyond the color of skin, country or culture,” says Kidjo. “I want to inspire people to work to help educate, nourish and protect
our children.”
