Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Angélique Kidjo uses that range
Forward placement and a brassy core carry this mezzo, with real chest projection and a percussive attack on every consonant. Held notes stay loud and steady, driven from the breath rather than squeezed in the throat, and the belt carries to about C5 before the tone lightens on its way to E5. Rhythm is exact, usually locked to the drums. Undersinging it does not work — that volume needs full support to stay in tune.

Reading the numbers
- Full voice is cited to within 4 semitones of the top note, so this reads as a chest-dominant voice rather than one that flips into a lighter register.
- The span is 8.5 semitones short of the library median (32.5 semitones) — a compact working range.
- 4 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
- One of only 10 Afrobeats voices in this library.
- Ranked by bottom note, it is the 501st lowest voice in this library; by top note, the 403rd highest.
