Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The soundtrack to Angelique Kidjo’s childhood in Benin included a wide range of musicians — from Aretha Franklin and James Brown to the South African singer Miriam Makeba. Now an international star in her own right, Kidjo returns to those early influences in her new album, “Oyo.” She joins us to take a musical tour of her childhood and the sounds that are inspiring her today.
