World Cafe Playlist for 12/08/2023

Laufey joins host Raina Douris

Laufey is trying to help her 20-something peers hear the beauty of classical and jazz, genres that may be especially intimidating to younger music lovers. On the World Cafe, she talks about what turned her on to music outside the pop mainstream, her collaboration with beabadoobee, and the moment that has made her violinist mother especially proud.

Listen to the session here.
