Bluesfest: Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu made quite a diva-esque impression on the Ottawa crowd, first with a 40 minute wait (including some very thorough band soundchecking, to be fair) and a very extroverted performance.

While we're waiting, let's look at some pretty clouds.

Erykah rocks the Andean look.

Purple action! It was a very purple show, at that.

You want gesticulation, you got it.

Erykah ditched the poncho for extra purple.

Good show, annoying wait. Her band was mostly ensconced in darkness, so no good photos of them - sorry.
