To see the rest, go to dailyom.comJuly 27, 2007Djin DjinAngelique Kidjo2007"Angelique Kidjo makes joyous, sexy, soulful Americanized Afro pop. Her 2007 album, Djin Djin, finds the Beninese-Parisian-New Yorker artist in buoyant spirits, strutting and shouting with thumb pianos and backing chorus merrily surging behind her. For fans of African music or African American soul, this album is a must have. Hugely beautiful and spirited, cosmopolitan and uniquely Angelique, Djin Djin—named for an African bell rung in the morning—finds the artist at the top of her game, flanked by friends and admirers like Carlos Santana, Amadou and Mariam, Peter Gabriel, Alicia Keys, Ziggy Marley, and Branford Marsalis. It’s contemporary, it’s urban, it’s African, it’s incredibly fun to boot."
