    I found this when i search the meaning of the song title "The name "Batonga" stems from a word Angelique made up as a response to taunts when she was going to school -- the boys didn't know what the word meant, but to her it was an assertion of the rights of girls to education." -wordnik

    I grew up in the nineties listening to Angelique Kidjo, her signature songs Wombo Lombo and Agolo left me wondering how Africa has such unique talent that you compare to none anywhere else. I don't even understand her Benin language but the percussion resonate with African mystic. Now Batonga, you got to salute Mother Kidjo Angelique.
