These songs become all the more intimate and emotionally urgent with Kidjo's dynamic collaborations with traditional women's choirs from Kenyaand various cities and villages in Benin. The singer and her newfound native Beninese languages, including Fon (Kidjo's first language), Yoruba, Goun, and Mina.

"Eva" Angelique Kidjo feat. Asa in conjustion with Rotary International "End Polio Now" Campaign.

As a longtime UNICEF goodwill ambassador Kidjo has campaigned extensively for widespread vaccination in Africa, and as a Rotary polio ambassador she uses her voice to raise awareness for the fight to end polio specifically. "I am alive because I was vaccinated as a child in Benin," she says. "I had school friends whose parents didn't believe in vaccination or understand that it was provided for free, and some of them ended up with polio! There is no excuse for any child to suffer from polio or any other preventable disease." See endpolio.org for more information on Rotary International's efforts to end polio. EVE Bonus Version Available @ iTunes

"Eve is an album of remembrance of African women I grew up with and a testament to the pride and strength that hide behind the smile that masks everyday troubles."

Says Kidjo, whose accolades include a 20 year discography, thousands of concerts around the world and being named Africa's premier diva (Time Magazine) and the undisputed Queen of African Music (Daily Telegraph).
They exuded a positivity and grace in a time of hardship. "On this recording I am letting the voices of the women show their beauty to the world", she adds. Eve is all about showcasing the positivity they bring to their villages, cities, culture and the word.
