Today was a perfect summer day. I went to summerstage in Central Park to see Les Nubians, Asa, and the amazing Malian singer Oumou Sangare. The Franco-African language vibe felt like an extension of my France trip.
There was also an air of Michael Jackson on stage. Even though the musicians were all West African, playing anything but pop and R&B, each gave a musical shout out to Michael. As I left the concert I walked past the rollerskating dancers, who played MJ's song "Lady of My Life". That's the song I used to think Michael was singing to me when I was 8. I predict that this will be the summer of Michael.
After Central Park, I went to Grom for chocolate gelato and then home to eat a perfect hamburger. Great Sunday!
