5th studio album by Angélique Kidjo and her major breakthrough album in Western Europe and in America. This is 'Westernized' African pop or: fon music, which in my mind, betters contemporary artists like Tina Turner, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Prince and the like. I remember this release from my then sister-in-law, who used to play it a lot, or whenever she didn't play Suzanna Vega, or: The Guide (Wommat) by Youssou N' Dour, released the same year. It's still quite enjoyable, although, it was never a really big favourite of mine.
