Trupa Trupa joins host Stephen Kallao
On their latest record Mourners, Polish rock band Trupa Trupa wasn’t afraid to confront their country’s past. On the World Cafe, frontman Gregory Kwiatkowski talks about how that history has shaped his own life, and why he sees music not only as a way to reflect on the past, but also as a way to resist hatred in today’s world.
