Shows on the scale that Angélique Kidjo is routinely capable of pulling off would be exhausting for me to attend, but there’s no way I would willingly miss her. I don’t know who is in charge of parceling out megastardom, but somehow they managed to short shrift Mdme. Kidjo.

Peter Gabriel, Youssou N’Dour, Angelique Kidjo, and the Soweto Gospel Choir – In Your Eyes

Angélique Kidjo – Afirika
Angélique Kidjo‘s Celia, a contemplation of Celia Cruz’s African roots, might be my favorite album of the year.

I can’t help but smile every time I watch it. This music, this kind of performance draws hearts together. In the weeks to come, I think we could all use a good reason to smile together.
