TASTE OF CHICAGO
STORY AND IMAGES BY ABENA SHARON DALE 7 /10/19- 7/5/19 GRANT PARK, CHICAGO -
It was a treat to be able to photograph this musical event at the Taste of Chicago in Grant Park’s Petrillo Music Band Shell. The taste of Chicago is the city’s largest outdoor food festival. The Taste never fails to deliver all star talent and this year was no different. The Sunday lineup featured Bilal, Meshell Ndegeocello and India Arie. Soul singer, Bilal, born Bilal Sayeed Oliver was in the zone singing marvelous ballads. He concluded with his hit ‘Soul Sista’. The incredible, jazzy, soulful, Meshell Ndegeocello, born Michelle Lynn Johnson was so cool and perfect. Meshell and her bass guitar brought the funk!
