Encore: Michael Kiwanuka joins host Raina Douris

If you’ve seen HBO’s Big Little Lies, then you know Michael Kiwanuka’s song “Cold Little Heart” from the opening credits. The song catapulted Michael to success in the U.S. and added to his well-established fame back home in the U.K. Now, he’s back with a third album, called Kiwanuka. On today’s encore edition of the World Cafe, we’ll hear about Michael’s journey to find his voice and what it was like growing up in England as the son of Ugandan parents. Plus, a live performance from the new record.
