Four women



I haven't known Nina Simone until now, and I haven't even heard a song in her performance, but the day before yesterday I found this video on YouTube. And I can't say anything else, just watch it. Watch it from the beginning to the end, and don't click in the middle of the search bar, because you'll break the magic. This music starts in a minimal way and it opens slowly, but you will always get closer to the real deepness of it. It's about four African-American stereotypes of women. I like the solution at the end of the song (in order): the slowing down, the baloney, the crazy piano, and after that: the short ending catharsis.


and on album: Nina Simone - Wild is the wind.
