And there is Kidjo the activist: she is a unicef goodwill ambassador and has founded her own aid group, Batonga, which works to improve women's education in Africa. At the foundation of all her endeavors is a conviction that it's good to talk, and that music is the universal tongue. "Music has been a communication tool since humankind has existed," she says.
