Angélique Kidjo
Cantante cinco veces ganadora de un Grammy y activista
La voz de Benín en el mundo, y una defensora incansable de las niñas de África.
El ascenso
Huyendo de la represión política en Benín, Kidjo construyó una carrera internacional mezclando tradiciones de África occidental con jazz, funk y sonidos latinos.
Lo que hicieron
A five-time Grammy winner, she has collaborated across continents, served as a UNICEF ambassador, and founded a fund to educate girls in Africa.
El cuadro completo
Decades of touring and advocacy have made her a cultural diplomat, though the systemic barriers she fights remain vast.
Por qué importa
Kidjo shows how an artist can carry a continent's creativity — and its causes — onto the world's biggest stages.
“Africa is the future. Our young people will change everything.”
