Angelique Kidjo- Always first rate
by cdn3034 on 2012-10-24Chan Centre For The Performing Arts - VancouverShe draws you in with her fiery performance and awesome voice -your attention is as a moth to a bright light..the audience in rapt attention for nearly 2 hours. Very tight 4piece band backing her - drums, percussion, bass & guitar - but they sounded like an 8 piece. Woven in between the tunes were many stories of Africa and social justice- these were almost as entertaining as the music. Angelique is also a social activist which I appreciate, however some people may be turned off if they are expecting just a musical performance. There was no warm up act.
