Last month, World Cafe went down to Nashville, as part of our 30th anniversary celebration, to record a series of mini-concerts from the National Museum of African American Music. Over the course of the month, you'll hear those sessions, which feature performances from , Keb' Mo', Lizzie No and, today, Amythyst Kiah.
Kiah made a name for herself, along with and Leyla McCalla, as the group . Her debut solo album, Wary + Strange, with its unusual combination of roots influences and alternative sounds, featured the Grammy-nominated song, "Black Myself."
There are some fun alternative influences in this session, though, with a handful of covers, including Tori Amos' "Sugar," and we start this mini-concert off with a very cool spin on Joy Divisions' post-punk anthem, "Love Will Tear Us Apart."
