Annie O Presents: Angelique Kidjo

New York-Standard Sounds

Angelique Kidjo’s next album, due April 19, will be “Celia,” a tribute to the Afro-Cuban singer Celia Cruz. “Quimbara,” the first cover, was one of Cruz’s signature songs in the 1970s. "Kidjo reconnects the salsa original to West Africa, layering the song with a tumbling six-beat rhythm, a brass-band undertow and a tangle of scurrying guitar lines while she belts with enough grit to rival Cruz herself.” - The New York Times. Annie O is welcoming Angelique back to Standard Sounds at TOTS, on April 16.

Annie O Presents: Sophie Auster

New York-Standard Sounds

Sophie Auster brings her new album Next Time to The Top Of The Standard. "Sophie Auster seems to be poised for stardom, with the vocal ability of a jazz singer, the knack of writing music with the edginess of rock, yet the catchiness of pop and the sensuality of soul, and the look of a trend-setting fashion model.” - The Patriot Ledger. Annie O caught up with Sophie before her show on March 27 at the Top of The Standard.
