A Tribute To.. D'Angelo

A tribute concert in London honouring the music of D'Angelo, the American soul and R&B singer and songwriter, performed by a group other than the original artist. The programme is presented at The Marquee Moon, a London venue for concerts and shows.

This is a tribute to D'Angelo, the American singer and songwriter whose records helped define neo-soul in the 1990s. The performers on this evening are not D'Angelo himself; the night is a homage to his repertoire, which draws on R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae.

D'Angelo released his debut album, Brown Sugar, in 1995, followed by Voodoo in 2000, a record closely associated with the Soulquarians circle of musicians and producers. Both albums combine sultry vocals with live-band grooves and gospel-rooted harmony, qualities that tribute acts typically recreate through a band and vocalists. The programme is built around this body of work.

The Marquee Moon is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who already know D'Angelo's records and want to hear them performed live in a London setting.
