Following her : :' refreshing and electrifying take on the Talking Heads album ': ,: æRemain in LightÆ, the French-Beninese singer is now reflecting :, : on an icon of the Americas, celebrated salsa singer, Celia Cruz. : :' ': ,: Celia was recorded in New York and Paris, produced and arranged :, : by David Donatien and mixed by Russell Elevado (DÆAngelo, Kamasi : :' Washington). AngΘlique is joined by a host of musicians ': ,: including Tony Allen and Meshell Ndegeocello, who appear on a :, : number of songs, plus her longtime guitarist Dominic James, the : :' GangbΘ Brass Band from Benin, British saxophonist Shabaka ': ,: Hutchins as well as his Sons Of Kemet trio, and more. :, : : :' Over ten tracks from CruzÆs extensive catalog, but with special ': ,: focus on her work from the 1950s, AngΘliqueÆs voice soars in :, : lockstep with a grand presentation of rhythmic touchstones that : :' delve deep into the history of music from Africa and itÆs ': ,: influence on the music of Cuba. Each song celebrates this idea û :, : from the tight afro-beat groove of ôBaila Yemaja,ö the high : :' octane take on ôQuimbara,ö the frantic energy of ôBemba Coloraö ': ,: to ôOya Diosa,ö a lushly orchestrated ballad.

Celia ': ,: Cruz, known for her aversion to the Castro regime, would join :, : Tito Puente's orchestra in 1966, and her recordings for the : :' Fania label helped to construct the legacy of salsa, the ': ,: American "melting pot" in which Spanish-speaking immigrants :, : borrowed from the intricacies of Afro-American jazz and vice : :' versa. ': ,: :, : Says Kidjo: "As a child I saw Celia Cruz sing in Benin and her : :' energy and joy changed my life. It was the first I was seeing a ': ,: powerful woman performer on a stage. Her voice was percussive :, : and her songs resonated in a mysterious way with me. Many years : :' later, I learned she was singing the Yoruba songs that were ': ,: carried out of Benin 400 years before. I felt she was a long :, : lost sister from the other side of the world. Like me, she : :' experienced exile from a dictatorship and she was always proud ': ,: of her roots, of her African roots. In the same way I wanted to :, : bring back Rock and Roll to Africa with my Talking HeadsÆ Remain : :' In Light project, I now want to pay homage to this incredible ': ,: voice and those songs that reunite with their juju and Afrobeat :, : roots." : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
