John Morrison joins host Raina Douris

Twenty-five years ago, Cibo Matto released an album that somehow encapsulated the sound of summer, while also addressing some more serious themes – like the stereotypes the leaders of the band, Japanese expatriates Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda, faced. On the World Cafe, commentator John Morrison gives his take on Cibo Matto and that album, Stereo Type A.
