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.

Very moving in every sense, the two voices matching perfectly in different pitches , perfect tuning , lilting along together with the voices of the choir

[@Mayousse]

This is fantastic! When one could not think anymore could be done with Bolero. Just see a ballet version. Exquisite!

[@DorianKateb]

Magnifique version du bolero de ravel, merci pour cette perle

[@BvtLouann]

Je suis d'accord

[@suzsanborn9185]

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.

[@imnumber142]

I also sang it to google and found myself here haha 😂

[@parsonscharlotte1]

Ohhh...what can I say!? Love this.

[@ushasrinivasan8655]

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.

Génial ! Somptueux au possible ! Le grand frisson ! Merci mille fois, Angelique !

[@truegrit7697]

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.

[@zapaliczka]

Beautiful. Peaceful, relaxing. Very nice, feminine but strong voice / also these in background. Pleasure to hear this version.

[@huthaifahbusuulwa63]
