Sen Morimoto mini concert with host Stephen Kallao

Complex drum patterns, layered synths, and a healthy dose of saxophone makes Chicago musician Sen Morimoto a force to be reckoned with, both in live performance and on his latest record, Diagnosis. On the World Cafe, Sen, along with World Cafe alum KAINA, joins us to perform a set of songs from the album.

Listen to the session here.
