Five-time Grammy Award winner and international icon Angélique Kidjo makes her long-awaited UGA Presents debut, bringing her commanding voice, magnetic stage presence, and radiant energy to Hodgson Hall for the first time. She performs music from her newest album, HOPE!!—an uplifting collection that channels resilience, unity, and healing in turbulent times. Celebrated as one of Africa’s most influential artists, Kidjo creates music with a powerful purpose: to remind us that we are here to love, support, and lift up one another.

“For more than four decades, the Beninese French singer-songwriter Angélique Kidjo has been a titanic figure.”—The New Yorker
