Eve

Intense, yes, this album is packed with the energy of strong, working women. Angélique is joined by many other voices, women's voices of Africa. This album is different from her other albums and each song in itself is unique. If you already have some of her music, do not imagine that this will be repetitive of earlier work. Add this album to your collection.The production quality is superb and the composition and sound editing is among the best I have ever heard.

After I heard an NPR interview with Angélique Kidjo, I decided to sample the music. I'm no expert on African musicians, but I know I like complex rhythms and a variety of styles and instrumentation. This CD has all that. And her voice is superb as well.

I preordered this album as soon as it was announced, so it goes without saying that I am a big fan of Angelique Kidjo. I had to wait a day after I received it to play it, but I made up for it by playing it 3 times already! I can provide some more of my impressions later, but if you are on the fence about purchasing this album (maybe if you are like me and were a bit disappointed with the last 2 releases) - get off the fence! This latest collection is Ms. Kidjo's interpretations of traditional Beninese and congolese folklore and folksongs and is an incredible offering of exhilerating rhythmns and melodies.

Cd arrived on time and in new condition. Great music. I am a huge fan of angelique. The beats are always off the chain and her voice is beautiful. I dont understand the lyrics but try to sing along. I recommend this cd.

I have been waiting for some new music from her. I especially love M' Baamba. Shango Wa, and Bomba. I have always loved her afro beats. I like the more up tempo songs the most because they make you feel like dancing and moving. This is an excellent album and its thoroughly enjoyable.

Wonderful album, nice selection of music, very representative of the genre. Kidjo has an amazing voice.

I purchased her first album -she is a Benin bombshell of African joy and music to lift the world ! I will see her in April at festival international in lafayette louisiana

I had the oppurtunity to see Ms Kidjo in concert after recieving the CD. I love both!!I truly enjoy her spirit which is reflected in her performance and carrries over to this CD. I'm a new fan!!

I love the music of Angelique Kidjo. This latest album does not disappoint. Her voice just keeps on getting better. Excellent work of art.

I heard just a snippet of a track from this disc on Radio 4. On the strength of that I bought this disc and another 'Oyo'. Eve is good but ,for me Oyo is much better with a greater cross-section of music.

Brilliant - an amazing, powerful, compassionate voice. Stirring music, cheers me up, listening to it over and over again in the car :-)

Un maravilloso recopilatorio con una serie de canciones dedicadas a la cultura de las mujeres de África, un homenaje a su fuerza, su femineidad y a su constante lucha por la independencia y la libertad. El nombre del disco es una clara dedicatoria a la madre de Angélique Kidjo y ha sido grabado incluyendo, no sólo un plantel de impresionantes artistas (Kronos Quartet, Lionel Loueke...), sino hasta diez coros de mujeres procedentes de Benín y Kenia, que acompañan a la "New Mama Africa" cantando en distintos dialectos e idiomas autóctonos, entre ellos el Fon, el Yoruba, el Goun y el Mina.Y por parte de la empresa distribuidora, estupendo como siempre, el disco ha llegado en forma y tiempo. Muy bien.

CD a dir poco molto bello. Sonorità dal gusto africano, ma che strizzano l'occhio al suono "moderno" . la voce di Angelique è sinonimo di garanzia. Sicuramente un CD che dovrebbe stare in tutte le librerie musicali.
