Essence Weekend 2013 – Friday July 6

ESSENCE FESTIVAL 2013

During the French quarter coverage of the Essence Festival weekend we were present for Jill Scott, Beyonce’, Maxwell, Janell Mone’, Brandi, LL Cool J, and many more. This chemical reaction of talented musicians is known as Essence Festival.  For those of you that don’t know, the port city of New Orleans becomes an entertainment MECCA during the 4^th of July weekend which has been an iconic music event since its conception in 1995.  These days the streets become flooded with what can only be explained as the current face of black culture at its finest, and Kapture NOLA was right there in the thick of it.  The flock of the fabulous and fashion forward attendees splattered the town in waves of, “which way???… this way???”  travelers during this fan fair extravaganza.
