In this special taped at WGBH's studios in Brighton, Grammy Award-winning artist Angelique Kidjo pays tribute to her homeland and the richness and beauty of African culture she experienced growing up. With the help of guest artists — including longtime friends Josh Groban, Dianne Reeves, Branford Marsalis, and Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend) — Kidjo communicates loud and clear how African music, then and now, embodies a universal spirit and appeal.
Angelique Kidjo and Friends: Spirit Rising premieres Wednesday, June 15 at 9pm on WGBH 2.
