Charismatic Kidjo
A woman of dimunitive stature, massive voice and larger than life character, Beninois singer Angelique Kidjo is a musical tour de force.
In recent days her brimming schedule has included a role in a Mo Ibrahim Prize for Africa event in Tanzania, a perfomance at the London tribute concert for the great Miriam Makeba; and an appearance on stage in Cape town for the 2010 World Cup Draw.
Despite her many commitments, she still finds time to carry out development work and make wonderful music.
Her brand new album, 'Oyo' is due to be released in January, she took time out to chat to Bola Mosuro about what she's been doing.
