[Music] : Angelique Kidjo[@AngeliqueKidjo] - Eva Ft. Asa

* On Eve, her highly anticipated Savoy Records
debut named for her own mother as well as the
mythical mother of all living, the Beninese born,
Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter builds
on this ever-evolving legacy with a 13-track, three
interlude set of melodically rich, rhythmically
powerful expressions of female empowerment.
These songs become all the more intimate and
emotionally urgent with Kidjos dynamic
collaborations with traditional women s choirs
from Kenya and various cities and villages in
Benin. The singer and her newfound native lady
friends sing in a wide array of native Beninese
languages, including Fon (Kidjo s first language),
Yoruba, Goun, and Mina.
Eve is an album of remembrance of African
women I grew up with and a testament to the
pride and strength that hide behind the smile that
masks everyday troubles, says Kidjo, whose
accolades include a 20 year discography,
thousands of concerts around the world and being
named Africa s premier diva (Time Magazine) and
the undisputed Queen of African Music (Daily
Telegraph). They exuded a positivity and grace in
a time of hardship. On this recording I am letting
the voices of the women show their beauty to the
world, she adds. Eve is all about showcasing the
positivity they bring to their villages, cities,
culture and the world.
