Kidjo and Carlos

January 18th, 2010 · Posted by Skuds in Music · No Comments · Music

Two of my favourites together on stage: Carlos Santana and Angelique Kidjo   When Jayne treated me to Santana tickets for my birthday (quite a long time ago) Angelique Kidjo joined him for this song – which she wrote and he covered on his Shamen album.   It made my day then, and finding this clip on YouTube made my day today.

Whilst I love her funkier stuff like Adouma, Agolo, We We or Womba Lomba, the song that gets me every time is actually a cover of a song Miriam Makeba made (sort of) famous.  I can’t hear Kidjo sing it without getting goosebumps, even on this slightly ropey clip from the Roll Back Malaria concert.
