Ondara released his debut, Tales of America, last year to great praise, and even earned a Grammy nomination. Based in Minneapolis but born in Kenya, he examined the United States from an outsider’s perspective through his music. Now he’s back with a new collection, called Folk n’ Roll Vol. 1: Tales of Isolation – But it is not the follow-up record he’d planned on. In a conversation with host Raina Douris today, Ondara recalls how he woke up one day during quarantine and started writing songs as a kind of therapy. And he performs some of the new music, live. On the next World Cafe.

When frontwoman Katie Munshaw and drummer Charlie Spencer of Dizzy met in the ninth grade, they probably didn't expect to become an award-winning musical group. The Canadian band took home the Juno award for Alternative Album of the Year in 2019, and now they're back with a new record called The Sun and Her Scorch. Today, Katie and Charlie join host Raina Douris to talk about playing in an almost-family band – Charlie's brothers Alex and Mack play guitar and bass respectively. Plus, we’ll hear some live recordings from the new album. Coming up, on the next World Cafe.
