Angélique Kidjo’s «Agolo» through the eyes of Siselabonga

A Yoruba word meaning «listen», Agolo returns as a fresh interpretation of Angélique Kidjo’s 1994 classic. The song’s narrative remains— it tells of a young woman defying her parents to wed a wealthy suitor, weaving through themes of choice, consequence, and the magnetic pull of the unknown.

But this is no simple cover. The duo’s version plunges into darker, more psychedelic waters— a shadowy reinterpretation colored by Siselabonga’s fascination with non‑Eurocentric perspectives and psychedelia.
