Black Pumas join host Stephen Kallao

Black Pumas shocked a lot of folks when they were nominated for Album of the Year at the 63rd annual Grammys for their self-titled debut. Since then, they’ve shown their nomination was no fluke. Adrian Quesada and Eric Burton, the principal members of the group, stop by to talk about their follow up album, Chronicles of a Diamond, and we’ll hear live performances recorded from Austin, Texas, on the World Cafe.

Listen to the session here.
