Powerful Female Vocalists to Take to Seoul Stage
By Kim Yoon-mi

World musician Kidjo and jazz singer Nah Youn-sun bring their unique sound to Seoul.

Those tired of Seoul’s brutally cold winter may want to check the upcoming concerts by two female vocalists, Angelique Kidjo from Africa and Nah Youn-sun from Korea, at the LG Arts Center in southern Seoul.

Their powerful and energetic voices, combined with experimental and fun music will melt and unlock the most frozen of hearts.

Angelique Kidjo, a Benninoise singer-songwriter from western Africa, will showcase her unique musical style, mixing up R&B, funk, jazz, American pop, European and even Latin American music.

She has become an iconic figure in the African continent, since her three albums “Oremi,” “Black Ivory Soul” and “Oyaya” were nominated for the Grammys in 1998, 2002 and 2004, respectively. In 2008, Kidjo’s “Djin Djin” won the Best Contemporary World Music Album. Last year, her latest album “Oyo” had Grammy nomination for the Best Contemporary Word Music Album.
