Four-time Grammy-winning American soul singer and songwriter Erykah Badu is taking the stage tonight at the Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Theater. Regarded as the “queen of neo-soul,” Badu released her highly acclaimed debut album “Baduizm” in 1997, which went triple platinum and, along with “On & On,” won Grammy Awards at the 1998 ceremony. In the spring of 2010, Badu released her fifth studio album, and the second installment of a two-part New Amerykah series. With her eccentric style and cerebral music, her deep, authentic and colorful voice and her remarkable performance, the first Istanbul concert of Badu will surely be phenomenal. The concert starts at 9 p.m. and tickets are at Biletix booths.
