The most energetic, engaging, generous and positive performer I've ever had the pleasure to witness.  She gathered as many audience members that would fit on the stage for a dance party, complete with drum circle.  I left that performance with a huge smile and happy heart.

Peter is an amazing artist and tends to find wonderfully talented others.

Yup, amazing how some reacted to this and other songs in this segue...
(Angélique Kidjo - Salala (w/ Peter Gabriel)
Morphine - Take Me With You
Madrugada - The Lost Gospel
Pink Floyd - Eclipe)

I also enjoyed it, think Kidjo is a gifted musician... as old PG is...

For your hearing pleasure you'll need to record this script. Once you've completed your personal commercial,  you can play it as often as you like - hours of fun. But wait! If you order now... I hope this helps get you started. (The oringinal version was much longer, but I decided to edit, out of consideration for the larger community).

I agree bizon. PG left Genesis because he saw the band headed in the "pop" direction and wanted to go off his tangent.

This is true - Find a copy of "The Best of Music & Rhythm" from 25 years ago and your see that he's had a particular interest in African beats long before others.

I sometimes get the thought that PG saw how well Phil Collins seemed to be doing and thought" oh I know I'll travel a bit and stand next to an indigenous bloke for a bit" or is that me being cynical?

No you're not being cynical..Sting does it too...I suppose there comes a time when you have all the money you could want etc that you either buy a plane and join loony religions or.."Save the world"..or find the most obscure people..and use them to sell your records.

So how come nobody is asking "Why is Angélique Kidjo slumming with this loser?" You don't think there's maybe just the off chance that they're making this music...because they like it?

I think Mr. Gabriel has earned the right to collaborate with anybody he pleases, and follow his musical tastes wherever they go. He doesn't need our approval (or money) so I'll cut him some slack. In this case I'm glad the two of them brought us along.
