With John Santos of the John Santos Sextet
Grammy-winning Beninoise singer–songwriter Angélique Kidjo is considered Africa’s greatest living diva. She is acclaimed for her uplifting and dynamic music, a blend of tribal and pop rhythms of her West African heritage with zouk, rumba, jazz and Latin, sung in English, French, Fon and Yorùbá. Her new book, Spirit Rising, tells the story of her harrowing escape from Communist Benin into France, her rise from poverty to become an international sensation and her tireless advocacy work for the education of African girls and women’s rights.
Come early, stay late for West African street food, drinks and design. Enjoy spicy black-eyed pea Moi Moi, chicken Scotch eggs, hibiscus tea and more from Chiefo’s Kitchen! Check out unique Dutch Wax designs and jewelry from award-winning dressmaker Aline Dazogbo of Aline’s Closet. 7:00 pm until closing.
"Angélique Kidjo embodies womanhood and bravery. She pushes back against any stereotype that gets in her way. If you don’t know [her], you haven’t lived, because there’s not one person who would be in her presence and not be changed."
– Alicia Keys
