The hall provided an intimate backdrop for the iconic West African singer-songwriter
“Tonight, I would like to celebrate this new place,” Angélique Kidjo said last night, a few songs into her set, the first ever in the new concert hall at Aviva Studios, the home of Factory International and the Manchester International Festival.
Few artists have made an impact on African music as profoundly as Benin’s Angélique Kidjo. Multiple Grammy winner, collaborator with an impossibly broad spectrum of artists, from Philip Glass to Ziggy Marley, Santana to Vampire Weekend, Burna Boy to David Byrne. It is at this point that I’d be happy to bet that every member of the audience wished they were standing. This isn’t seated music, and Angélique has moves for days, letting loose on stage while those in the crowd have to make do with shuffling in their seats.
