(Benin/USA) It's no easy thing to cover a Rolling Stones classic like "Gimme Shelter." But if anyone can do it, the small but mighty Angelique Kidjo can, reworking the song andmaking it her owon by adding the rhythm section of Benin's Gangbe Brass Band. It's a killer track, and a song that is still as relevant as when it was first released in 1969. The difference is that Angelique's version is a call to action in the face of violence, poverty, and genocide.
