Music Erykah Badu w/ the Roots

  • L_679a485ac36bcf93084ecf388a255b11_event_full

For the last few years, neo-soul priestess Erykah Badu has been off the pop-music grid, choosing to focus on her other passions: holistic health, astrology, energy healing, and, of course, motherhood. Through all these new-age, old-school practices, she somehow managed to record her sophisticated, futuristic new album, New Amerykah Part I: 4th World War (the first of a trilogy), which marries her signature warm 'n gritty vocal wanderings to beats from acclaimed producers like Madlib and 9th Wonder. Tonight, joined by her special guests the legendary Roots crew, the maturing superstar performs with style, grace, and hard-earned spiritual gravitas — till she takes off her Afro wig, and things get really serious.
