There is simply no musician quite like Angélique Kidjo. One of the true stars of world music, ‘Africa’s premier diva’ (Time Magazine) has spread her rhythmic Afro-fusion to the far reaches of the globe, cross-pollinating the West African traditions of her childhood in Benin with elements of R&B, jazz, and funk, as well as influences from Europe and Latin America. Kidjo commands the stage with her fun-loving personality and electrifying charisma, and ‘her voice has never sounded more expressive or exquisitely nuanced’ (The Times, London). This Grammy Award winning singer crosses musical boundaries and, in doing so, seeks to unite different world cultures through her music. Angélique Kidjo is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and has delivered countless speeches on the issues children and women face in her native land and elsewhere.

All profits from this concert, Angélique Kidjo’s first in Ireland, will be donated to UNICEF Ireland and its ongoing work in Haiti.
