Rhiannon Giddens Sings La Vie En Rose "for Paris, and Beirut, and Kenya, and Charleston, and..."

[HuckleB]

"This is for Paris, and Beirut, and Kenya, and Charleston, and so many others; for countless innocent people devastated by terrorism- which is just a word for organized hatred and inhumanity. We have to keep seeing the world in shades of rose- we have to keep hoping for peace and working for change and believing that with our art, our love, our knowledge, and most of all, our empathy and understanding for our fellow human beings, we can make a difference."
-- Rhiannon Giddens

A rather fine cover, in fact.
