Angélique Kidjo Announces 2015 Tour Dates

Beninese singer, artist and activist Angélique Kidjo has announced a string of dates for her 2015 tour.

After earning her second career Grammy and a doctor of music degree from Yale earlier this year, Angélique Kidjo is hitting the road for a string of dates in the USA, Canada, Brazil and France. First up is a FREE SummerStage at Central Park show in New York City this Sunday, June 7, with Rich Medina and South Sudanese musician Emmanuel Jal. See below for the full list of dates.
