Angélique Kidjo - Remain In Light

Kidjo uses the heavy Afrobeat influence of the original Talking Heads' album as a launching point to reimagine these eight songs within a West African framework -- layering in additional lyrics sung in both English and her native tongue.

Meanwhile, the original socio-political allusions of David Byrne’s free-associative style are still just as relevant today.

This album is the sound of two cultures having a necessary dialogue with each other, set to irresistible body-moving rhythms.
