Looking to take a chance? - and add some African music flavor to your CD collection? Angelique Kidjo's new release, Djin Djin, would be a great place to start.
If you aren't familiar with her music - are any of these names familar? Carlos Santana? Alicia Keys? Josh Groban? Ziggy Marley? You don't get that kind of talent playing on your CD because they need the money. They wanted to be part of this.
I can't tell you - that you are going to love it. If you aren't used to or open to this kind of sound, you probably won't. I can't call it an acquired taste, however, because this CD is very accessible.
Oh...one more artist graces the project - Peter Gabriel. His vocals turn the simple lyric, "there's no joy like the joy of the sun coming in," into pure magic.
You can get a taste of the Peter Gabriel track on the entry to her website
Check it out - if I led you astray, let me know.
