[hrothgarta]

Ms. Angelique Kidjo is one of the most amazing singers and is an incredible woman who cares about the world. I always go to her concerts when she comes to my city; she is so much more powerful live than on her CDs.

[belleobscurite]

she is from Africa

[trishasinger]

where is she from?

[nlytend1]

Benin i think.

[rosalasauvage]

Right about that Benin. She is from my country. I love her so much.

[niamh2003]

when is her next concert

[lasierra7]

I love Angelique! I'm from the CAribbean and this sounds so similar to merengue! Tumba is the name of main drum used in merengue, does anyone knows the actual meaning?

[lasierra7]

soooorryy the name of the main drum in merengue is tambora not tumba! :P but still want to know what tumba is ;)

[boginja86]

Tumba refers to Butt or Big Butt in some West African Countries!

[ashleyfan124lyfe]

tumba means big waist or your butt. thats why thier shaking like that

[LadyDayII]

I absolutely LOVE this Lady! She is so full of energy, positivity and spirit....reminds me of another little lady :-)

[sarahbl1982]

She is great! I saw her open for Josh Groban. She is so full of energy!
