Acoustic Soul

I was introduced to India.Arie at Ravinia as an opening act for John Legend. Although she is by no means new to the music scene, she embraces R&B with a touch of hip-hop, but she isn't subject to its stereotypes. The thread that runs through both her music and hip-hop is that it’s a very precise expression of the way she has lived her life. Along with the guitar and beautiful voice, India.Arie plays saxophone, baritone clarinet, french horn, and tenor recorders along with the trumpet. Her personal understanding of the physical, spiritual and emotional aspects of music pervade the album "Testimony; Vol 2 Love Politics". She's a Storyteller, songwriter, singer with music that truly inspires.
