Title

what a playlist! some african folk songs mixed with the african-american r&b of otis redding, aretha franklin and james brown. sidney bechet and bollywood. santana's 'samba pa ti' and a south african lullaby. and it all works together perfectly. it would be tough to find a better mix on any hour of even the most eclectic radio or club dj set. the follow-up to the benin-born star's 2007 contemporary world-music grammy award-winning album 'djin djin' contains all those things and more. and it's not just an exercise in random eclecticism. this is all music that inspired kidjo in her youth in africa to become the artist she is today, and in that regard is a soundtrack for her mission to provide health care and education opportunities for children in africa and elsewhere in her role as a unicef goodwill ambassador and with her own batonga foundation.
