ANGELIQUE KIDJO “POPS AT THE PHIL”
With the Luxembourg Philharmonic Ochestra, Conducted by Gast Waltzing
On June 8th 2011, Angelique set the audience of the Philharmonie Luxembourg on fire with her “Pops at the Phil” show.
The Grammy winning “Africa’s premier diva” (Time Magazine) performed some of her most famous songs arranged by conductor and composer Gast Waltzing with the 110 musicians of the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, an 8-piece choir and a small combo of musicians. The renowned film composer Gast Waltzing was able to capture the energy and the intricacy of African rhythms in his arrangements of Angelique’s music. For the first time the classical world met with the warmth and beauty of African music. From the poignant adaptation of her classic Malaika to the irresistible groove of Afirika, Angelique and the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra brought the audience to its feet for 3 encores.
