Angélique Kidjo, is a five-time Grammy-Award winning Beninese singer-songwriter, actress, and activist who is noted for her diverse musical influences and creative music videos. In 2007, Time magazine called her "Africa's premier diva." On September 15, 2021, Time included her in their list of the100 most influential people in the world Kidjo is fluent in five languages: Fon, French, Yoruba, Gen (Mina), and English. She sings in all of them, and she also has her own personal language, which includes words that serve as song titles such as "Batonga". "Malaika" is a song sung in the Swahili language. Kidjo often uses Benin's traditional Zilin vocal technique and vacalese. Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous composition.
I was there...I was confused, I did not know what to do...and then I heard this beautiful performance and it sensibilized my heart and I started crying!
Very moving in every sense, the two voices matching perfectly in different pitches , perfect tuning , lilting along together with the voices of the choir
Wow! 😮 My mom was into symphonies & so we listened to a different version of this piece growing up. This morning it was in my head & I didn't know the name of it so I sang it to Google & it led me to this. What a find! I'm going to text it to myself to listen to again.
I am so surprised that there is no comment yet on this song that iin my opinion is the best in the "Eve" album. The pace is electrifying and the combination of instruments is superb! The bassist nearly drove me crazy towards the end!
Simply beautiful Angelique is one of my favorite artist, and my Homeboy Branford Marsalis - former S.U. Human Jukebox Marching Band Member the best. Love it
Você nos representa! Humanizou e se apropriou do Bolero como deve ser e como sempre será em cada música tocada pela sua magnitude. Somos seus súditos para sempre vez que temos o privilégio de sermos contemporâneos da sua linda atuação/obra. Obrigada!❤
You can hear the gentle canter of horses in it, the gathering of birds for prayer in the morning, the Latin chants, the Sanskrit invocations to Indra the mighty God of thunder, you can hear devotionals from many parts of the world, it is a condensation of all that is great in human voices raised together in song and worship.
Recién escuche, petite fleur, ahora el bolero de rabel, me encanta la fuerza de su voz y la sensibilidad que tiene para interpretar y su sencillez en su grandeza es sorprendente, besos y abrazos desde chile 🤗❤️🥰
This absolutely sends chills down my spine. The Ravel family only gave Angelique the rights to put Bolero to song. Also, look at that wonderfully international chorus. So beautifully inclusive. I am blown away.
