Global Hit
It’s a fair bet to say that Benin singer Angelique Kidjo has thousands, if not millions of fans around the globe.
Her Grammy award winning career stretches over 20 years. She’s been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for over five. And while fans adore her, Angelique Kidjo herself is an adoring fan of OTHER musicians.
She came by our studios to tell us who she listens to and what’s on her iPod:

# Habibi by the Lebanese singer Fairuz
# State of Independence by Donna Summer
# Language Classes! Right now, Kidjo is learning Portuguese
