This is the best interpretation of Voodoo Child that I've heard so far.

Excellent version. She can sing hitting the high notes in the right pitch. Jimi would have approved this version. What a thing it would be if Jimi would have played with her this number.

I really like this lady

I am a shredder thru and thru but this version gives me chills every time I listen to it. "Voodoo Child" is my favorite song of all time and Kidjo does it all the justice in the world! Thank you so much for your musical vision and respect for what Hendrix did for guitar and music in general.

My respect for this awesome woman is beyond words!

Pure magic. The perfect link between Jimi's music and its African roots.

I don't know how I got to this video but my mind was blown away by the 5 second mark.

First time I heard it was shortly after it was released in '98. Did the same to me. Still blows my mind nearly twenty years later.

jimmy would be proud. like the high notes.

Dayuummm..... this gave me chills. think Jimi woulda been groovin' to this version. Dayumm!!

This sounds just like the recording! She amazing!

Wow, I would hardly call that a cover, Angelique has made a whole new song and a fantastic one at that!

I would love to see her in concert ....

I have never heard anyone's voice described quite like this, but I must say... very well stated. It is incredible.

I love the music, and her voice. It's interesting that she is not more well known, which she obviously is, but I'm sure that you all know what I mean.

It’s great

Wicked!!

She just gets better

Angelique was here in Charleston SC last week!! If it is to be a once in a life time event.... Im Blessed~!! Being on stage with her still reverberates in my Soul!!! Ms. Kidjo is Fantastic for the Spirit!!!

This blows me away every time I hear it. Angelique Kidjo's voice is incredible

Excellent !

AWESOME. The voodoo train has finally reached it's destination,-the motherland.

Amazing rendition of this song, amazing singer. Don't understand how she's been around so many years and i only came across her yesterday. It was like love at first listen!

Love her !

I love Hendrix but I barely paid any attention to this song until she did it. IMO the best.

This is so trippy. I just don't think African roots when I hear Jimi, but when they started singing the opening riff, it all just fell together for me.

Que talento!! Muy buena version

Chanson de Jimi Hindrix! Les riffs de guitares de J. H dans la version originale qu'elle remplace par des paroles dans une langue du Bénin "Amon Min keledje voodoo vi amon-Amon Min keledje voodoo amon" qui signifie"tu me sous-estimes mais tu as devant toi la véritable enfant vaudou"

Samba Pati feat. Roy Hargrove - African childhood Music Video A nostalgic recollection of old photographs from Angelique's childhood in West Africa, set to the rhythm of SAMBA PATI feat. Roy Hargrove (OYO - 2010).

Yes!

Absolutely Genious and Brilliant!!!

This reminds me of the happiness seeing this wonderful lady and her band live in Ghana - Thanks for sharing as we all should

I saw her perform tonight and she sounded even more talented than ever. She's always amazing.

One of my all time favourite musicians! Was just blown away by her live performance.

such an amazing version

OMG...I love her ! she was so inspired by the music that turned me on way back when...her inspirations.

Damn she's gooooooood!!! I can't get enough of this!

very nice ! です.

Honey Dip is a force of nature...LOVE It.

I always love to see her live performance. I've seen her three times and actually saw her last Saturday, March 24th. It's was worth me and my husband's time (wonderful date night out).

This is the most!!! The absoluteley best musicvideo EVER!!! See how these Women handles the best rock son ever.... It is done soooo easily and with a self esteeeam noone can ever take away.....

Jimi Rules as KIng -But the Queen is alive and in da house!

Love this.........

I bought her CD just to get this performance-- I forgot how I heard her; on somebody's show. She said she grew up listening to her mother's musical collection which is why this is in her catalogue. I love her----love chile, voodoo chile !

very very good

Have this whole show. Hope ABC TV replay all 5 Studio 22 seasons again one day.

The best cover to Voodoo Chile ever! Hendrix would be proud!

I met Billy Cox once. And I had to twice look at the bass player to make sure it wasn't him. All Hendrix fans love this.

Deep man

Angelique and Buddy Guy really "get down" on stage at the Radio City Music Hall (2004) DVD "Lighting in a Bottle" I got from Netflix. Unbelievable how she struts in back of Buddy Guy as he's playing and she's singing.

Love this song anyday anytime.... Angelique Kidjo U rock! My favorite African female Artist....

WOW!!!!!!!!

Sensational?! Ain't that a fact!

There is a clear African link with what Jimi meant by composing voodoo chile. This sound really VOODOO! Fucking beautiful version. Jimi would be proud of you.

OH MY GOD HER VOICE IS Magic.

Kickin baby! :)

This artist needs to be taken seriously for the philosophy and culture crossover produced for our enjoyment.

voodoo chills down to my bones

Thanks, Angelique, and company. This kind of amazing 100% live performance begs the question-- Why on EARTH do people waste time going to watch lip-sync pseudo-live shows where most of the music is pre-recorded and the only thing live is the dancing and the makeup???

Best Cover VC

AWESOME

Awesome......really.....really....im sure jimi would love dis

She gives it her all. Always.

🙌🏿🎶🎼🎵

yeah, she is brilliant on that DVD lightning in a bottle...the whole dvd is amazing

Solid version with crisp drumming, smoky bass and a cutie backup singer @2:30. Can't ask for more.

Angelique is BbbbrriLLiant :-)))) xxx

If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next . . . don't be late!

She's touring right now, hitting the Mondavi Center near Sacramento on Friday, March 2. Found her via PBS!

großartig!!

Genious

This is "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" There's another song by Hendrix titled "Voodoo Chile," but Kidjo is singing the "(Slight Return)."

Great, I love her version . I found her by accident on a more recent event w/ Buddy Guy n Vernon Ried , She usaed her femme wild to get Buddy . Great . I sure Jimi s happy on this . THIS < I BELIEVE IS HOW HE D HAVE MELLOWED

Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I stand up next to a mountain Chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island Might even raise just a little sand 'Cause I'm a voodoo child Lord knows I'm a voodoo child I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time I'll give it right back to you one of these days I said, I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time I'll give it right back to you one of these days And if I don't meet you no more in this world Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one And don't be late, don't be late 'Cause I'm a voodoo child Lord knows I'm a voodoo child I'm a voodoo child

The original version of what? You mean the recorded version of this Voodoo Chile? That's available on the "Angelique Kidjo" channel.

It's actually Voodoo Chile - Slight Return, and it is great.

Jimi would have loved it.

WOOF!

Well stone me if this isn't the best thing ever.

I think it's important to be able to enjoy music without subscribing to the message or lyrics. I'm a son of Africa. I'm however not a voodoo child. I was born a Christian and will die as one. I love Angelique music though. I feel the hairs on the back of my neck rise everytime I hear this song.

That's true free speech for you... where you can eagerly listen to the words, feel the emotion and passion behind it, and yet be free to disregard it coz that's your personal right. Music is symbolic of free humanity at its best.

Rajesh Narayan Yes Stevie Ray performed the song well, but that completely misses the point. Angelique takes this to a whole new level. Stevie Ray was just doing a (very good) cover.

Voodoo is beautiful - some people made it look bad

fucking good

fuck yeah...... its the shee..it

if you really listen to jimi's version you can hear some of that african roots, i mean it is called voodoo child. jimi could hear things and sounds we couldn't because he was guided by a higher power.
