Epic Fro: Esperanza Spalding

Esperanza Spalding needs no introduction to the natural hair community. But for those that are not familiar with her yet, she is a young, accomplished jazz bassist/singer who seems to be just hitting her stride and being recognized in the mainstream media, probably because of her February 2011 Grammy win for best new artist.

But she has been around for a while doing her own thing with her fantastically Epic Fro! The photo of her below is an ad for Banana Republic featuring one of its stylish outfits. This ad was the first time I had see or heard of Miss Spalding and I thought to myself "wow what an interesting hair style."

That was before I went natural myself so I wasn't really into Afros at the time but seeing the ad again as a natural has a whole different effect on me now. I think it is truely an awesome hair style and she is very talented.

Editorial Note: As of 12/2/2011 one of the photos above that I acquired via Polyvore is having technical difficulty for some reason. Please forgive the mess.
