,: Dubbed "AfricaÆs Premier Diva" by Time Magazine, AngΘlique Kidjo :,
: can be described as nothing short of ôone of a kindö. :
:' AngΘliqueÆs illustrious career has earned her three Grammy ':
,: Awards and eight nominations, with The Guardian recognizing her :,
: as one of the world's 100 most influential women. Following her :
:' refreshing and electrifying take on the Talking Heads album ':
,: æRemain in LightÆ, the French-Beninese singer is now reflecting :,
: on an icon of the Americas, celebrated salsa singer, Celia Cruz. :
:' ':
,: Celia was recorded in New York and Paris, produced and arranged :,
: by David Donatien and mixed by Russell Elevado (DÆAngelo, Kamasi :
:' Washington). AngΘlique is joined by a host of musicians ':
,: including Tony Allen and Meshell Ndegeocello, who appear on a :,
: number of songs, plus her longtime guitarist Dominic James, the :
:' GangbΘ Brass Band from Benin, British saxophonist Shabaka ':
,: Hutchins as well as his Sons Of Kemet trio, and more. :,
: :
:' Over ten tracks from CruzÆs extensive catalog, but with special ':
,: focus on her work from the 1950s, AngΘliqueÆs voice soars in :,
: lockstep with a grand presentation of rhythmic touchstones that :
:' delve deep into the history of music from Africa and itÆs ':
,: influence on the music of Cuba. Each song celebrates this idea û :,
: from the tight afro-beat groove of ôBaila Yemaja,ö the high :
:' octane take on ôQuimbara,ö the frantic energy of ôBemba Coloraö ':
,: to ôOya Diosa,ö a lushly orchestrated ballad. AngΘliqueÆs voice :,
: soars in lockstep with a grand presentation of rhythmic :
:' touchstones that delve deep into the history of music from ':
,: Africa and itÆs influence on the music of Cuba. Each song :,
: celebrates this idea û from the tight afro-beat groove of ôBaila :
:' Yemaja,ö the high octane take on ôQuimbara,ö the frantic energy ':
,: of ôBemba Coloraö to ôOya Diosa,ö a lushly orchestrated ballad. :,
: KidjoÆs album Celia divests itself of the glamour to investigate :
:' the African roots of the Cuban-born woman who became the ':
,: "Queen" of salsa, a music genre invented in New York by :,
: Caribbean immigrants. :
:' ':
,: Born in Havana in 1925, Celia Cruz, a black woman, left Cuba :,
: with her first group La Sonora Matancera in 1959, when Fidel :
:' Castro toppled the dictator Fulgencio Batista from power. Celia ':
,: Cruz, known for her aversion to the Castro regime, would join :,
: Tito Puente's orchestra in 1966, and her recordings for the :
:' Fania label helped to construct the legacy of salsa, the ':
,: American "melting pot" in which Spanish-speaking immigrants :,
: borrowed from the intricacies of Afro-American jazz and vice :
:' versa. ':
,: :,
: Says Kidjo: "As a child I saw Celia Cruz sing in Benin and her :
:' energy and joy changed my life. It was the first I was seeing a ':
,: powerful woman performer on a stage. Her voice was percussive :,
: and her songs resonated in a mysterious way with me. Many years :
:' later, I learned she was singing the Yoruba songs that were ':
,: carried out of Benin 400 years before. I felt she was a long :,
: lost sister from the other side of the world. Like me, she :
:' experienced exile from a dictatorship and she was always proud ':
,: of her roots, of her African roots. In the same way I wanted to :,
: bring back Rock and Roll to Africa with my Talking HeadsÆ Remain :
:' In Light project, I now want to pay homage to this incredible ':
,: voice and those songs that reunite with their juju and Afrobeat :,
: roots." :
