"The process of learning from somebody else and to impart a bit of my culture on other people and not to remain too assured about what I do to always put it to other facts," Kidjo says. "It's so important for me to work with other people. It creates so much excitement."

Kidjo released Oyo, a Grammy award winning album featuring John Legend and Bono in 2010.

In February she released her live album Spirit Rising which you can listen to in full.

Kidjo returns to the Bluesfest stage at Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, April 7-8, tickets available now.
