I'm almost finished and tempted to turn around and re-read the whole brilliant book again immediately! The chapter, "My Father's Voice", is so close to home for me; I cried so much while reading about how difficult it was for her to carry on with concert commitments upon learning her father had died. Personally, I lost my dad just over 2 years ago and only very recently come out of that semi-functioning, grief-fog.

Reading the words of African (Benin) diva Angelique Kidjo resonates as a powerful salve / therapy against xenophobia. This memoir is an intimate telling, with humor & revelry, of a charismatic activist. Africa's first diva was Miriam Makaba, South African civil rights leader and singer, and Kidjo proudly carries on that legacy.
