The afternoon was wonderful. Oakland girl, Goapele was impeccable, her sleek, classic look, as flawless as her voice. She wore a form fitting grey dress that eluded a a vintage feel, but had a very modern assymmetrical hem at the knee. The dress was finished with a high-waisted belt. Her hair was parted down the middle and braided tight on each side. Her accessories appeared to be vintage and her heels were very cute. Her make-up was simple and her beauty radiated through the crowd.
Her performance was magical. The Michael Auberg Ensemble provided the instrumentation - a bass player, trumpeter, saxophonist, and organist. The rhythm was kept (and taken beyond) by an amazing drummer.
Here's Goapele's performance of "Closer" in the Fillmore. Enjoy the magic.
