Angélique Kidjo + support

**Five-time Grammy Award winner Angélique Kidjo brings her striking voice to Brighton as part of the Hope Tour**

Angélique Kidjo is one of the greatest artists in international music with 16 albums to her name. Her discography of music cross-pollinates the West-African traditions from her childhood in Benin with elements of American R&B, funk and jazz, as well as influences from Europe and Latin America.

Using her art to explore African diaspora, offer an electrifying take on Talking Heads Remain in Light and reflect on salsa icon Celia Cruz, Kidjo has amassed critical acclaim, with The Guardian listing her as one of their Top 100 Most Inspiring Women in the World.

Her latest album Mother Nature includes captivating young creators from West African music, Afrobeat, Afro-pop, dancehall, hip-hop, and alt-R&B. Resulting as a visionary body of work, Kidjo hopes that her songs may inspire the togetherness that leads to transcendent change.
