Five-time GRAMMY Award winner Angélique Kidjo brings her powerhouse voice, electrifying stage presence, and joyous music to the Center for the Arts. Named one of 2021’s “Most Influential People” by TIME Magazine and one of the “Top 100 Most Inspiring Women in the World” by the Guardian, Kidjo is one of the greatest artistic forces in international music today with 16 albums to her name and an impressive lineup of awards and recognitions. Blending West African rhythms with jazz, pop, funk, R&B, Latin, and dance music, Kidjo’s visionary music tells the story of Africa’s past while looking ahead to the future. Her extraordinarily eclectic four-decade career has featured collaborations with Bono, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Branford Marsalis, Carlos Santana, Philip Glass, Dianne Reeves, and the Kronos Quartet. “Her Angélique Kidjo music transcends mere danceability and instead possesses you with its rhythm, leaving you no choice but to move with the groove” (NPR).
