Kidjo
West African singer Angélique Kidjo has roused the desire of many African
women to become singers. Her mix of Afro-pop, American R&B and Caribbean
rhythm is full of exuberance and vigor. This album is the third part in a
trilogy that previously explored African Roots music in the United States,
called "Oremi" and in Brazil, "Black Ivory Soul."

Khadja Nin: Sina Mali, Sina Deni (Burundi)
Putumayo Records
Judith Sephuma is a rising star on the South African music scene. In her
song "Le Tshephile Mang" she sings, "Our nation, our people,
who do we trust? / We are always fighting, in who do we trust? / Why can't
we be happy for each other, stop all hatred and build our nation together?"
Khadja Nin was raised in the small African country of Burundi, between Congo and Tanzania. Her song "Sina Mali, Sina Deni" or (Free) is an adaptation of a Stevie Wonder song and speaks of spiritual liberation, "I'm free like water / Which flows to the heart of the savannah / Like the wind, like eyes, like a shooting star / Like water, like me now I'm saved."
