Cool video: Madonna and Jon Batiste sing 'Like a Prayer' on the streets of Harlem
Madonna held a secret ‘Madame X’ gig in New York on Friday night and ended it by taking the show to the streets of Harlem. Madonna told W Magazine that she “wanted to pay homage to Harlem with an intimate performance. Harlem is the birthplace of James Baldwin, my eternal muse and a great source of inspiration for my film ['Madame X']” she added. Madonna performed at the club with a band led by Jon Batiste and a quartet of backing vocalists, before leading the group and audience out onto the street and down one block of 126th Street while singing ‘Like A Prayer’ through a megaphone. The parade ended in front of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church.
I just marched through the streets of Harlem with Madonna singing Like a Prayer. What else am I supposed to live for in life after that? pic.twitter.com/7TTyKDGFUx
