She was born into a musical family, her mother is a choreographer and director of a theater group, her brothers are instrumentalists and at the age of six she was singing and dancing in her mother's company and later joined her brothers' group, the Kidjo Brothers Band, where she sang a variety of Benin-style songs. In the same year she joined forces with bass player and composer Jean Hebrail, and together they worked on their own music. Through regularly working at Le Baiser Salé in Paris, she also met many African and Antillean musicians and was able to form her own group and release her first solo album, Parakou.

Angélique Kidjo first heard Talking Heads shortly after she fled the communist regime in her native Benin for Paris in 1983. Listening to Western popular music was like an act of treason in her home country, she says, so she remembers feeling like a kid in a candy store when discovering music in France – You want to eat all of the candy at once, she tells Rolling Stone with a laugh. But of all the music she was digesting, one record was unique: Talking Heads’ 1980 offering, Remain in Light  . The Talking Heads album has this kind of uncomfortable tension, he says. Angélique’s version sounds so celebratory and happy, but all those chants are actually bringing up very painful topics. Now that the album is finished, Kidjo is looking forward to performing it again on the road.
