Angélique Kidjo

Post by TomHChappell »

(Maybe this post should go in Conlangery.)
According to the currently updated Wikipedia, Angélique Kidjo speaks six languages;
3 African natlangs,
2 European natlangs,
and a conlang she herself created, and in which she sometimes sings!

Did anyone else on board already know that?

Apparently, none of her songs are in an imaginary language...
Only the word "batonga" seems to have been traceably coined by her...

less exotic, less energizing...
more jazzy, more classy...
