In 1980, Talking Heads released their fourth studio album "Remain In Light." Listen carefully, and you can hear the music of West Africa, specifically the work of Fela Kuti, the Nigerian pioneer of the sound called Afrobeat. Host Marco Werman speaks with musician Angelique Kidjo about her take on the Talking Heads album. Kidjo has now released her own track by track reworking of "Remain In Light."
