      From the 1st song to the last~ Ms. Angelique Kidjo was absolutely FABULOUS! She had everyone on their feet dancing, jumping and swaying to the beat. This was the 1st time my husband and I saw her.... Expand

      From the 1st song to the last~ Ms. Angelique Kidjo was absolutely FABULOUS! She had everyone on their feet dancing, jumping and swaying to the beat. This was the 1st time my husband and I saw her. Let me tell you we were NOT disappointed but are now going to be fans of hers. The mention of the(?)friends being Diana Reeves and Wynton Marsellis. Oh what a sweet surprise. Loved the funky Diva sound of Diana doing 'Baby I Love Ya' was off the hook. Wynton's Spanish Bollaro - horn(?)with Angelique's soulful hypnotic sound took you on a beautiful journey on the Egyptian Nile River. The other brothers were so delightful. It was great to hear the younger generation following her music. The dancers and choir AWESOME! It was $120 well spent!!! I loved her so much can't wait to purchase the DVD when it come out. Your staff and volunteers were the BEST! I had an orange front row seat which made me happy. I would like to attend other diverse shows! Visual of 1 people speaks volumes!! Collapse
