Sold out Carnegie Hall concert on Nov 2nd celebrating 40 years in Music

For more than four decades, the Beninese French singer-songwriter Angélique Kidjo has been a titanic figure working to dispel the Western myth of “world music.” From the 1991 album “Logozo” to three Grammy-winning LPs—“Eve” (2014), “Sings” (2015), and “Mother Nature” (2021)—Kidjo has fiercely advocated for African music, from Afrobeat to Afropop, jazz, and classical. She is joined on the first U.S. stop of a tour celebrating her forty-year career by the Colour of Noize Orchestra, directed by Derrick Hodge, and the funk ambassador Nile Rodgers, the Chic front man who worked on hits for Diana Ross, David Bowie, Madonna, Beyoncé, and Daft Punk, the last of which earned him the 2014 Grammy for Album of the Year.(Carnegie Hall.)
