Brighton Festival: Angelique Kidjo
Details
Join me for a Brighton Festival event, to see Angelique Kidjo, 5-time Grammy winner, as she brings her Hope tour to Brighton Dome. I hope some of you can join me, or already have tickets booked, so we can meet up.
I've booked Rear Stalls W44 for £40 and there should still be tickets left (I booked last week).
Book your ticket at:-

Show starts at 7.30 - we'll meet in the bar from 7pm.
NB I'll be collecting £2 Meetup fee (contactless) from attendees.
"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."
