Angélique Kidjo is a global music icon, five-time Grammy winner, and unstoppable force for change. The Beninese superstar has just released her powerful new album HOPE!!, a groove-heavy, galvanizing work dedicated to her late mother, featuring collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Ayra Starr, Davido, and more. Fresh from her Hollywood Walk of Fame star and ongoing world tour, Kidjo continues to blend African rhythms with universal messages of resilience and unity. Jean-Emile Jammine speaks to a living legend and passionate activist.
