On ne le dit pas assez mais autant de talent et surtout des clips aussi originaux et créatifs à cette époque. Respect maman Angélique vous êtes un monument. Proud of you 🇧🇯
Franchement jusqu'à présent (2023) aucun artiste béninois 🇧🇯 n'a pas encore réussi à atteindre ce niveau de vidéo 💪 Maman Angélique merci beaucoup pour la joie que vous me donner chaque jour que Dieu fait. Votre musique est sans pareil 🎧🎙️🥰
My Nephew was 8 years old when I used play "We We" and he is now 30 with kids of his own.. guess who's music is streaming?? Angelique's!! This woman's gift is time-lessss!!!
Its unbelievable how sweet, enchanting and heart warming this song is. its beyond my expectation that i feel dumb. definitely, she is truly angelic. love and respect from Ethiopia.
I found this when i search the meaning of the song title "The name "Batonga" stems from a word Angelique made up as a response to taunts when she was going to school -- the boys didn't know what the word meant, but to her it was an assertion of the rights of girls to education." -wordnik
Thank you Angelique for all that you do. Your music is beautiful. I wanted to take some music videos to a girls summer camp in the Congo and I'm so pleased to have found your videos. The girls will love it. Also, best of luck at the Grammy's.
La première fois que j'ai écouté cette musique j,avais 6ans aujourd'hui je n'ai 38 et je suis toujours émerveillé par cette musique merci maman angélique et a youtube pour nous rappeler ces doux souvenirs
I saw Dizzy GillespieMiriam MakebaAngelique in Fort Worth Texas ha ha ha ha I’ll never forget it.... Music never dies....(63, Anglo, female American)......Music if it’s good Reaches everywhere......Great is global... timeless!
Great legacy for the unborn generation to enjoy. African Music and culture displayed in million folds in one song which hits differently in an aesthetic style. ❤️😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I take so much pride in coming from the same region as this legend of a woman…. Her ways of expressing our culture is just epic….West Africans are the most peaceful respectful artistic at and strong warriors at the same time all evident in our arts….. Love you so much Mama Kidjoe…. You depict our culture to the world so beautifully 😘….Shout to every melanated Kings and Queens around the world were the very soul of this earth
I am so happy I found this video. Remember being so intrigue with it back in my twenties. Her voice, the beats, the visuals, timeless. After all these years I have now realize my Ancestors have been calling on me. Must visit my Africa Continent homeland of my Ancestors.
Greetings SiStar! I’m American and this music and your voice speaks to my soul even though I have no idea what you’re saying 😁😁😁 Thank you for sharing your awesome talents!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up in the nineties listening to Angelique Kidjo, her signature songs Wombo Lombo and Agolo left me wondering how Africa has such unique talent that you compare to none anywhere else. I don't even understand her Benin language but the percussion resonate with African mystic. Now Batonga, you got to salute Mother Kidjo Angelique.
I still do the mmmnn hmm mmm hmmm mmmhmmn, I guess I never grew from this song, every kid in Ghana born in my that's 20th century generation knows this song.
my parents used to record blocks of “world music” in mtv when i was little and this one was on my favorite tape. i loooved this song! the bird-like puppet used to scare me so bad when i was little, it’s so fun to look back on and this is such a gorgeous video, im so glad it was such a big part of my childhood. dancing to this song is one of my treasured childhood memories
The story is : when I was a kid I watched several times a video clip, some kind of African music..with beautiful colors and lights..the word “Batonga” always sticks to my head..and now suddenly I was thinking..what if I just type Batonga on TH-cam..There you go..

Proper Afrobeat pioneeer . Thank you Angelique and congratulations on your new Job role. #Afrobeat
shout out to all who used to watched this back in the late 90s on NYC Channel 55
I was always scared in the night watching this video back then. This is music. +229 🇧🇯🇧🇯🇧🇯 c'est l'Afrique qui gagne
Ok😊😊
Used to wonder why her videos gotta be so scary those days. The songs are still amazing but videos be looking like horror movies.
Same with Agolo.
@@sharonobi1052 most are african artforms or voodoish base. you just have to overlook it
Love Benin
She is just valued our tradition 😊
I am so happy I found this video. Remember being so intrigue with it back in my twenties. Her voice, the beats, the visuals, timeless. After all these years I have now realize my Ancestors have been calling on me. Must visit my Africa Continent homeland of my Ancestors.
OMG!!! I feel alive again. The memories comes back and I see how incredible this woman is. I'm happy!😍☺️💃
Sing my beautiful and talented African sister. Enjoying this in 2019.

If I remember it correctly, Angelique Kidjo is from Benin and this was sung in Yoruba.
Not yoroba sir this Fongbé
Greetings SiStar! I’m American and this music and your voice speaks to my soul even though I have no idea what you’re saying 😁😁😁 Thank you for sharing your awesome talents!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks
She qualified the African braids which valued the identity of the African woman, on the one hand and tries to value the African dance
Same - her music is so full of life ❤
Batonga all the way from Canada can’t wait to See her
Wow, what a treat! Thanks Angelique. I wish I knew what the words meant. A classic track.
You're 👌👍
It was very strange when I was a kid
I was afraid when I heard the songs with the masks
I grew up in the nineties listening to Angelique Kidjo, her signature songs Wombo Lombo and Agolo left me wondering how Africa has such unique talent that you compare to none anywhere else. I don't even understand her Benin language but the percussion resonate with African mystic. Now Batonga, you got to salute Mother Kidjo Angelique.
Angélique Kidjo is a queen of music.She simply sings in Fongbé,a predominant language in Bénin.Her voice and music is appreciated all over the world.
Ohhhh
Quelle sensation d’écouter cette belle musique 🌹
I still do the mmmnn hmm mmm hmmm mmmhmmn, I guess I never grew from this song, every kid in Ghana born in my that's 20th century generation knows this song.
