Coming to town
Angelique Kidjo

Yeah, the world-music version of “Gimme Shelter”—complete with chanting—was a dubious decision; without the song’s proper air of barely restrained menace, what’s the point? But the African-born singer has a strong, beautiful voice, showcased in the impossibly bouncy “Ae, Ae” and the melancholy title track. Or you can predict your response this way: Guest performers include Joss Stone, Carlos Santana and Josh Groban.
Opening for Josh Groban. April 7, 8 p.m., $68.25-$131.25. MGM Grand Garden, 891-7777.
