Angelique Kidjo - Eve

Facts 2014 album from the Grammy-winning Beninoise singer, songwriter and activist, on EVE, named for her own mother as well as the mythical mother of all living, Kidjo builds on this ever-evolving legacy with a 13-track, three interlude set of melodically rich, rhythmically powerful expressions of female empowerment. These songs become all the more intimate and emotionally urgent with Kidjo's dynamic collaborations with traditional women’s choirs from Kenya and various cities and villages in Benin. The singer and her newfound native lady friends sing in a wide array of native Beninese languages, including Fon (Kidjo's first language), Yoruba, Goun, and Mina.
