Angélique Kidjo said, “I want to thank Tiny Desk for forecasting so many different talents from around the world. We need different spaces, because this world is just shrinking. This song and this young girl that’s coming from my continent is an example of what we can do when we all come together.”
Watch the GRAMMY Award-winning global icon perform songs from her album ‘Mother Nature’, ‘Afirika’, and ‘Pata Pata’ (in tribute to Miriam Makeba, her late friend and mentor) in its entirety below.
