Beyonce Homecoming


I watched the documentary Homecoming about Beyonce's Coachella concert last year. It was phenomenal. The theme of the concert is an homage to historically Black colleges and universities and the concert is modeled on homecoming ceremonies, with dancers and singers and a huge marching style band on bleachers on the stage. The documentary is mainly concert footage but it is interspliced with scenes from rehearsal, quotes from important Black figures in American history, and Beyonce narrating her experience putting the concert together. She has so much vision. The concert was so powerful. I love her stomping assertive singing and dancing style. Her total command. There are a hundred people on the stage an it must have been an intense concert to be at live. Still, the documentary conveyed the enormity of her talent and the intensity of her performance.
