She raised a often overlooked aspect of the triangular trade in her argument on how Africans slaves influenced many of the music genres
I wish I could say to her: You through your music has given me peace, strength, joy and courage at different times through different songs. We haven’t ever met but you are part of my spirit... 🙏! (From 🇺🇸)
Angelique that was such an amazing interview. You said it all and you nailed it. Africa is responsible for its actions, but the richer countries are are more responsible for the negatives things happening in Africa. I wonder how they will (richer countries) survive without Africa. I just wonder.
God bless kidjo, you are an Amazon a strong woman. God bless mama Africa 🌍🙏💪

African queen Angelique Kidjo
I'm proud of you. You are a champion. You show that the spirit of the Dahomey Amazons is still alive.
Ohhh Men! Sometimes you listen to the music and forget to know the person. Kidjo speaks the deepest truths - in such a simple way!!!
I love you Angelique. I discovered your music 30 years ago
Angelique, thank you, you are a good spokesperson for Africa. Yes the media is awful. God bless sweet lady.
I remember watching her music videos grown up in Haiti.
God bless you mama Africa ❤️❤️❤️
Proud of you momma, and well said indeed!!!!!!! You
A woman I respect so much...that's my Angelique Kidjo
Watching this is 2020.. and Wow...
This woman has spoken so much truth. The media has a lot of negative things to say about Africa. Of course there is some truth to what is being shown in the media but a lot of it always seem to be extremely exaggerated. A lot of poverty and negative things are happening in east Europe and Asia as well but it's almost never broadcasted in the same way.
The truth is that the African continent is extremely beautiful and so are the african people. It's wildlife, landscapes and natural resources are unlike any other. And for many years this continent has nurtured and supplied the western world to become what it is today. But who cares to share that in the media right? The most beautiful treasures of the world has been found in Africa and exportet to the west. I can only hope for this negative image of Africa to change and for people around the world to gain more knowledge and information and not believe everything that is being shown by the media.
God bless you for us Mama Africa. Much love 💞💞💞 💞
Well spoken Angelique Kidjo you are intelligent, talented we love you God bless you always
Thank you for breaking the negative image of Africa. Thank you for the education.
PREACH! I'm going to see her perform in a few days.
Its really really beautiful I agree with her. I relocated to Britain 9 years back but I could only live there for two years and I had to come back.
I love this woman!!! She is powerful and a true legend.
2022 love her 💕

WOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you MUMMY< Mother of Africa (Angelique kidjo)
The man can't stand her, he's just trying so hard to stop her... We are proud of you.
Death to the western blood suckers of mother Africa they are the puppet masters of the suffering
What an inspiration Angelique is. She is brilliant. I admire her so much. How strong she is
Powerful woman with wise words, the truth has to be told untill it sticks..
the interviewer was bent towards having Ange' suggest that Africa's problems are made by Africans. He tried to push her away from imperialist influence on Africa
Thought I was the only one who noticed.. White people refuse believe they're part of the problem.. It frustrates me
Angeline Kidjo goes for it.❤️ yr Agolo that tittle in Eve/Ewegbe.
🙏 wonderful Angelique Kidjo ! thank you for the great show in Amsterdam ♥
Brasil loves you Angelique Kidjo
Truth has set u free.true love kidjo

A blessing
She is a living Icon ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍. I love her 👑👑🙌.
my idol
I love this woman
great video
She is a mighty hero! For all women.
what a beautiful, brave, eloquent, intelligent, spiritual and talented woman you are angelique! you are so right - i truly believe that there will never be peace in the world until all there is equality between men and women - and african women are SO strong - your background reminds me of malala - she too has a strong supportive father who believed in the importance of equal education for women - thus forming her into the strong girl she is today . and i totally agree with you about the negative picture the media paint of africa where i have always found beauty, strength and music - your music!
WOW
Well said
Powerful speech
❤️
Great Woman!
Well done Angelique, I’m so proud of you.
Proud of you Angelique
Angelique, am proud of you. You are full of Wisdom.
God help. Our leaders don't fear God.
I love this woman! She is so right!
She was so lucky to have a great father.
❤❤
