Some collaborations arrive quietly; this one pulled up with five Grammys, Pharrell’s cool and Quavo’s ad-libs in the same vehicle. Angélique Kidjo has released the video for “Bando”, and the streets are very much part of the assignment.
The track appears on Kidjo’s album HOPE!!, pairing the Beninese-French music icon with Pharrell Williams and Quavo. With a title like “Bando,” a polished sit-down visual was never really going to cut it — this one takes the energy outdoors.
If your playlist has been begging for African music royalty meeting hip-hop heavyweights, consider this your sign to press play.
