World Cafe Playlist for 06/26/2025
Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi join host David Dye
In a homage to old Spaghetti Western soundtracks, Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi created the album Rome in 2011. The music was recorded at Forum Studios, in Rome, a space that Ennio Morricone started with three other Italian composers, and a space that still holds many of the instruments Morricone used in his own work. On the next World Cafe, hear an interview from the archives with Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi about the magic of Rome.
