Album Notes
Personnel: Angelique Kidjo (vocals); Joao Mota, Gary King, Yves N'djock (guitar); Branford Marsalis, Manu Dibango (saxophone); Lester Mendez (keyboards); Jean Hebrail (bass); Joe Galdo (drums, percussion); Moussa Sissokho, Djanuno Dabo (percussion); Ray Lema, Myriam Betty, N'dedy Dibango (background vocals).
Recorded at International Sound Studio, Miami, Florida and Stuio Davout, Paris, France.
Angelique Kidjo's musical formula, which joins traditional African melodies, themes and rhythms to a radio-ready club sensibility, has helped the Benin-born, Paris-based singer achieve remarkable international success. Kidjo's third album, LOGOZO, recorded in Miami and produced by Joe Galdo of the Miami Sound Machine, has some of the sunny, international sound of that Florida city, while recalling the marketable pop sheen of Galdo's group.
Streamlined African dance rhythms are the forte here, as on the album's opener, "Batonga," and the pulse-quickening "Ewa Ka Djo." Kidjo also returns to her roots on the chant-driven "Senie" and the moving acoustic ballad "Malaika," but she is not afraid to update the tradition, as on the hip-hop influenced "We-We." Celebrity guests Branford Marsalis and Manu Dibango lend stellar support to this cross-genre, dance-soul affair.
Industry Reviews
...Kidjo is her own woman, writing songs about real life, and singing them with conviction rather than pretension...West African folk and pop, Miami rock, Motown soul and New Orleans swing all seem comfortable in her hands...Afro-pop carried by a singer of serious note...
