A very dynamic and fun concert in a full Spaulding Auditorium. A number of beautiful African songs, with great drum accompaniment.
There were 4 people in the band: guitar, bass guitar, percussion and drums. The guitar and percussion had a very distinct sound and beat, very engaging.
Towards the end, she expressed disappointment that people weren’t dancing. That was enough: the last few songs were a lot of fun, especially when she walked through the audience, and everyone sang the refrain that ended with “Africa”. And the song after that, everyone joined her on stage, and one little girl sang at the mike.
Throughout the show, she danced very dynamically. Hard to believe that she has a daughter just finishing at Yale! No wonder there was no Q&A with the audience after the show – instead it is tomorrow afternoon.
