Tonight we went to see great Mali singer Rokia Traoré perform at a very crowded Cedar. By the time we arrived it was pretty crowded, but we were lucky to get a couple of spots against the side wall where we could sit on a ledge and have a pretty good view over people’s heads.
She started the concert with a slow song and then transitioned into fast tempo music. The band played a long set without intermission. After which they took a short break and then came back for a great finale.
Although the Cedar had placed chairs throughout, people began to gather on the sides and dance. Of course, by the end everyone was dancing.
