Mavis Staples and Hozier will be on the Tonight show to perform their hit ‘Nina Cried Power’.

The Richmond Folk Festival seeks to create an environment that is representative of varying cultures and traditions. Staples performance certainly helped add to the mission. Her performance garnered “what appeared to be the largest audience for a single performance.”

The “legendary Mavis Staples,” as quoted by Ellen, was joined by Hozier to perform ‘Nina Cried Power’ in a special tv exclusive. The two took the stage with the same fire that is present all throughout the lyrics of this song dedicated to activism.

Mavis Staples will be headlining the 100% female forward Outessa Fest on October 20th in Shakori Hills, North Carolina.

Mavis Staples has been named the Female Blues Artist of the Year by Living Blues magazine as a part of their 25th annual Living Blues Awards.
