I have lost count as to how many times I have seen Mos Def perform. One thing is for sure, Mos Def knows how to put on a show and you will get your money’s worth. It’s hard to describe what a typical Mos Def show is like. Depending on how he may feel, he may perform a show complete with very few of his own songs, but more like the songs from artists that influenced him like Nina Simone, Howling Wolf, or even Bell Biv DeVoe. He interacts with the crowd as if they are sitting in his living-room digging through old vinyl records or CDs. The fact remains, Mos Def is a storyteller. It is clear to the audience that each song and it’s order were given considerable thought.
