Episode 135 features an interview with Angelique Kidjo who has just released a new album simply called Celia, dedicated to the celebrated Cuban vocalist Celia Cruz ... Originally from Benin, Angelique Kidjo has had a stellar career that saw her begin singing from the age of 6 and after escaping political turmoil in Africa, relocate to Paris. Rising from poverty, she became a Grammy Award–winning artist with a huge back catalogue of albums, including her re-imagining of the Talking Heads classic album Remain in Light. Angelique Kidjo talks to us on Worlds of Music before she took to the TSB Bowl stage at Womad 2019 and delivered a sensational show that confirms her status as ‘Africa’s premiere diva’.
