I love watching her interviews. She is so intelligent and articulate. I can't get enough of her music, but watching her interviews are joy as well. Thanks for the post!

[@mgaspesie]

haaaaaaa ! How glad am I to have discovered this artist! Thumbs up for rockin' the natural black hair! Lovely woman Bless you xxx

[@peaceiladel83]

I love this musician so much man! I had a chance to see her in philly in october. She was just as amazing live as she is in her albums! She's a piece of what's missing in the world of music. I'm to see her shining now.

[@Bloorain82]

This girl is super awesome! I listen to her music nonstop!

[@GiaPollock]

lovely...wonderful to watch such a candid & refreshing interview...keep it up!!! :)

[@1122redbird]

She's not sugary pop or catchy hip hop. She has deep soul, deep talent. The best music and art isn't always appreciated by the mainstream masses. I'm white, so I certainly don't speak for any african americans, but I'm speaking about the age thing. In any event, this woman makes the world a better place. Pure joy.

I didn't know who she was either but I don't feel bad. I know who she is now and I am glad! She is refreshing. Especially to someone who doesn't listen to alot of jazz or orchestra music. She is a great introduction into a great other world of music for me. The U.S. is what it is. If you want to find good music, you look hard enough, you will find it. :-)

[@glong86]

She's just such a beautiful person inside and out, and of course genuine. More African-Americans should be supporting her.

[@jetfour07]

diggin the video editing and of course that marvelous fro

[@BlueLineUnscensored]

Anyone know the name of the song she is jamming on at the end? sooo smooth.

[@bwebmasta1]

@MrNusouth Actually, some Black people do support her but sadly not enough. Esperanza is the epitome of what a real artist is, such raw and awesome talent.

[@antonsavin72]

Very good interview!

[@diopangie7634]

i totally agree!!

[@Freedomsongs25]

@deebastard77 Ur right I stumbled across her show when i was in college 3 years ago...i was not surprised she is on the level she is hopefully her next album will get more shine Chamber music is good but her soulful tone brings her music to a different level like her debut album....shes supposedley workin with Q-Tip on her next album so lyrically and musically ithink its gonna be a little more groove and lyrically good

[@saucy05]

How much would she charge for a private music lesson. :P I know i would come in early and stay after hours.

[@RainaHatari]

I love how she was like "It wasn't like you were this A student" And Esperanza goes "Mmm mmm" *Shakes head* Lol

[@scmxc14]

[@MrNusouth]

[@TheDominiq1012]

America needs to embrace real musicians with real instruments

[@Blackfender36]

Older African-Americans do but the younger ones not so much.
