African Vibes

The fabulous female vocalist and composer, Angelique Kidjo, from Benin in Africa headlined at the Nuevas Tendencias Festival in Salobreña last month. The powerful lady put on quite a show to the excited crowds, who have been delighted with such a strong line-up this year.
Ms Kidjo’s style is jazz infused with her own blissful African vibe and she flicks back and forth across genres to wow her audience. So far she has collaborated with the likes of Alicia Keys, Peter Gabriel, Carlos Santana and Joss Stone to name but a few. And, when not giving her all on stage or writing lyrics, she also happens to be a UNICEF ambassador. She says that she hopes one day for a ‘President of the United Nations of Africa’. All in a days work really.
The festival also featured Raul Bernal and Jean Paul amongst a jam-packed schedule of activities for the kids. It was deemed a huge success by all those who took part and the organisers said they were pleased with the turnout.
