Watch Solange and Esperanza Spalding Perform at Peace Ball

Watch Solange and Esperanza Spalding Perform at Peace Ball

Solange and Esperanza Spalding were among the performers at the Peace Ball: Voices of Hope and Resistance event in Washington D.C. tonight. Held at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the nonpartisan gala was billed as a celebration of “the accomplishments and successes of the past 4 years and the vow to continue to be the change we want to see in the world.”

During the course of the night, Spalding performed while accompanied by dancers, before Solange later took the stage and did a set that included A Seat at the Table cuts “Weary,” “Cranes in the Sky,” “Mad,” and “Don’t Touch My Hair.” Solange was introduced to the stage by distinguished activist Angela Davis, who called the singer-songwriter a “legend” and said we would need her to write the anthems of the times ahead.
