“Africa's premiere diva” is coming to Istanbul July 14, 2014 to perform as part of the 21st Istanbul Jazz Festival. Angélique Kidjo will be performing a concert at Feriye Restaurant beginning at 22:00 as an exciting part of the phenomenal music program put on by the Istanbul Foundation of Culture and Arts from July 1-16.

As Official Carrier for the jazz festival, DHL's sponsorship of the Kidjo concert is just one way that we're bringing music to festival-goers ears. We've sponsored the Istanbul Jazz Festival for years and in doing so, have brought some of the most powerful voices to the stage.

This year is no exception, as one of the most powerful voices of world music, Angelique Kidjo brings her unique vocal stylings to Turkey. Blending African music, American soul music with funk, ramp and reggae, Kidjo has quickly earned her place as one of the top soloists in world music.

She's the ideal fit for a festival organized to bring famous artists from the world over to Istanbul for two weeks of high culture performances in off-beat venues – from parks, to restaurants, to embassies. The Istanbul Jazz Festival is on now through July 16, 2014.
