Angélique Kidjo Sings Talking Heads

The Grammy Award-winning musician takes classics such as ‘Crosseyed and Painless’, ‘Once in a Lifetime’ and ‘Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)’ and reinterprets them with electrifying rhythms, African guitars, and layered backing vocals.

As a performer, her striking voice, stage presence and fluency in multiple cultures and languages have won respect from her peers and expanded her following across national borders. Kidjo has cross-pollinated the West African traditions of her childhood in Benin with elements of American R&B, funk and jazz, as well as influences from Europe and Latin America.
