At the Blues Festival, a Woman Rocks the Crowd Like No Other Boogie Woogie

The world is home to talented musicians and actors. Being gifted with both abilities is quite remarkable, but some people are fortunate enough to acquire both. Envy, isn’t it? Introducing Doña Oxford, a truly remarkable individual.

There has been 12.8 million views on YouTube of a video featuring Doña performing at the Riverfront Blues Festival in 2013. One of the most enjoyable musical styles, boogie-woogie, is performed by Doña in it. Doña asks if she may play for them at the beginning of the video, and the crowd cheers enthusiastically says yes.

Boogie Woogie by Dona Oxford @ the Riverfront Blues Festival 2013

Doña throws down the gauntlet and starts playing after she announces she’s going to teach them about boogie-woogie. She is really remarkable. Although her keyboard skills are remarkable, that isn’t all it is. The fact that she exudes attitude and sass adds to the pleasure. She moves her body to the beat, nods her head, and uses her hips to accentuate the music. I really enjoy watching this show.

Along with the audience, she riffs as the song progresses. She even goes so far as to say that she’ll be doing the boogie with one hand tied behind her back. The bass player may now go home, she jokes, when she kills it. He plays off walking offstage while he laughs. After that, Doña clarifies that the boogie wouldn’t be complete without the woogie and incorporates the right hand once more. The pace keeps picking up till her hands become a haze throughout the remainder of the clip. As expected, she receives an enormous round of applause when her act concludes.
