If you don't trust the roots of the modern music in Africa, then there's hope for that music at all.
Angelique Kidjo
The richness of Africa, culturally, is vast. That's the challenge that we have to face, because most of the time, people in the western world, their attention span is really narrow.
Angelique Kidjo
As long as music of mine is not used to preach hate, or to bash women, it's okay for me. If it doesn't promote violence against women, drugs, this and that, use it, go ahead.
Angelique Kidjo
Your brain is your greatest weapon. Connect it to your heart, and you can go anywhere.
Angelique Kidjo
There are people who refuse to say that Africa is a continent, but that doesn't remove the fact that it is a continent.
Angelique Kidjo
Telling my story is to empower people to believe in their own power. We have so much power individually.
Angelique Kidjo
The music of the westerner comes from Africa, whether they like it or not. The majority of the instruments of the music, of the pop music, rock and roll, or R&B, hip hop, whatever it is, their roots trace back to Africa. So if you are black, white, yellow, or red, whatever you do, it doesn't matter, because your DNA is back in Africa.

Don't let misery bring you down.
