Afro-funk, reggae, samba, salsa, gospel, jazz and Zairean rumba are just some of the styles combined through the music of the soulful, Benin-born and Paris based vocalist Angelique Kidjo. In her more than fifteen year career, she has performed and collaborated with musical luminaries ranging from Carlos Santana and Dave Matthews to Quincy Jones and Cassandra Wilson. Released last year, Angelique's most recent album, "Djin Djin" saw her collaborate with some of modern rock, pop and soul’s brightest stars including Alicia Keys, Peter Gabriel, Carlos Santana and Josh Groban. She is currently touring in support of the album, as well as performing at numerous international music events such as Quincy Jones' "We Are the Future" concert and the Montreux Jazz Festival.
