AFA '09 - George Clinton (Sep 09)

George Clinton was the African Festival's 2009 headliner. He put on a great show and seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit at age 68.

It was interesting to see that the elders in the village didn't mind his foul language as much as they did during the hip hop set the previous day. Go figure.

After the show, I had a chance to speak with some of the band. Consistent with other artists I've seen in CHI, they were all really gracious and down to earth folks. Cool. If you want the link to the other 300 photos, email me.

I had some trouble identifying all of his band members, so if you have the missing ones, please email me or comment on the photo. Thanks!
