Angelique Kidjo shared a funky new cover of Midnight Oil's 'Beds Are Burning' for the PlayAtHome series on 'The Late Show.'

While the song is about returning land and making reparations to Aboriginal communities in Australia, it has a universal urgencythat feels particularly potent now, especially as Kidjo sang the chorus: “How can we dance when our earth is turning?/How do we sleep while our beds are burning?”, and earlier this year it won the Grammy for Best World Music Album.
