In the dark - and loving it

Tricky is most comfortable with darkness.

The English trip-hop pioneer had his China debut in the grasslands of Zhangbei, a three-hour drive from Beijing, on Sunday night.

He shared the stage with a five-member band, including Veronika Coassolo, who sang the lead vocals for most songs. With Tricky growling, the lights moved through the cloud over their heads, barely illuminating them.
