Leyla McCalla and Rhiannon Giddens @ Maison des Arts, Créteil - February 10, 2024

I had to go to North East Bumfuck for this one, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I'm a big fan of the headliner Rhiannon Giddens, and her latest album You're The One is one of my favorite records from last year. I've always liked Leyla McCalla too, who used to collaborate with her in many different projects, so I was very excited for this gig. Giddens' management had granted me a photo pass, but this was a festival date and the festival organizers reneged on it the day before so I had to buy a ticket like a fucking peasant. Management apologized profusely, but it wasn't their fault: it was that fucking festival. Whatever. Review and shitty pics of Leyla McCalla's set can be found HERE.
