Angélique Kidjo
Born in the small port of Ouidah, Benin, on July 14th 1960, Angélique Kidjo has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame since she embarked on a solo career in 1989. The singer has brought out a dozen albums, two of which were nominated for Grammy Awards. Kidjo is known for her firebrand live appearances and her devotion to several humanitarian causes. In 2007, she brought out her most ambitious CD so far, Djin Djin, with guest stars from around the world. |

Addis Abeba (Ethiopia) - 2006
 play
Angélique Kidjo was part of a high-profile line-up in Addis Abeba to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the birth of Bob Marley. Once her musical duties over in the capital, the Béninois artist went down to the impoverished Omoro region of Ethiopia to assist UNICEF in its campaigns to eradicate AIDS, bring water to isolated communities and open medical centres for the poor. This programme was first broadcast by Radio France International’s weekly programme Crossroads.
