After a 21-year hiatus, the British band Ride is back. They’ll perform a classic song or two as well as music from their new album, Weather Diaries.

Colombian 6-piece band Tribu Baharú makes music with one goal in mind: they want to make you move. They brought high energy percussion, Afro-Caribbean flavor and a whole lot of joy to the stage this past July at Nuevofest. Thanks to this Latin Roots series, you’ve got a front row seat to that set from Tribu Baharú on the next World Cafe.
Thursday, September 14
Canadian troubadour Bruce Cockburn’s latest record Bone to Bone is his 33rd album, but it’s Cockburn’s first release since chronicling his decades-long career in a 2014 memoir called Rumours of Glory. Cockburn reflects on how writing his memoir made him question whether he’d write another album, and performs new music on the next World Cafe.
Friday, September 15
The 69th Annual Emmy Awards are happening this Sunday (September 17th). To get you in the mood the World Cafe has put together a show full of songs that made moments – From The Beatles on Ed Sullivan to Michael Kiwanuka‘s theme for HBO’s Big Little Lies, you’ll hear a whole lot of TV tunes on the World Cafe.
