Angelique Kidjo's FIFA World Cup Diary

06/24/2010
. Angelique Kidjo's FIFA World Cup diary aired yesterday on NPR's Morning Edition, but you can hear it now online.

She views Africa hosting the World Cup as a symbol of hope and joy; and one that can shift worldwide perceptions towards her continent. She talks about a conversation she had with Desmond Tutu.

And of course, she talks about soccer, omnipresent in her childhood. The piece also contains some killer audio of Kidjo singing "Move On Up" at the opening concert with John Legend
