Grammy Award-winning singer Angélique Kidjo drops her new album “Queen Of Sheba”, out now.
Beninese singer-songwriter Angélique Kidjo alongside Ibrahim Maalouf a French-Lebanese jazz trumpeter and composer delivers on an intriguing body of work titled “Queen Of Sheba“.
“Queen Of Sheba” is a replica of the Biblical ancient story of a Queen who heard about the reputation of King Solomon and journeyed to Jerusalem to see for herself. The concept of the LP sparked into light when Kidjo and Maalouf first met in New York back in 2018, then came the idea of blending the music & culture of their backgrounds.
