Ayo kicked off FIAF’s month-long World Nomads symposium with an amazing performance that had people literally dancing in the aisles. I must admit, it’s hard not to be taken by the organic sounds of this chanteuse, her lush voice filling the air with sweet harmony. But, after this show, I’m in love.
What was so special, you ask? Halfway through the concert, she tore down the fourth wall with a smile and invited the crowd to join her onstage. After a awkward moment, the first courageous few hopped right up and, like a flood, nearly sixty people followed. What a beautiful scene that was, Ayo dancing along with her fans, hugging them, laughing with them, singing her melodies in the midst of a sea of smiles. The energy in the room was quite remarkable, and everyone left with a little bit of peace inside.
If you are not familiar with her work, my suggestion is to see her live. Keep an eye on her Myspace page here for show listings, etc.
