Esperanza Spalding - Ponta de Aria

A huge congradulations to Esperanza for winning the 2011 Best New Artist award at the Grammys. For the first time, in a very long time, the Grammy’s have proven that they haven’t been completely reduced to a shitty popularity contest and that MUSICIANS with DEMONSTRATED talent and innovation still deserve recognition.

And anyone who is still griping about her winning can sit and spin.
