Genesis Owusu joins host Stephen Kallao

Genesis Owusu stops by World Cafe to discuss his just released sophomore album, Struggler. Inspired by Kafka’s Metamorphosis, the narrator of the album is a roach, who may have just picked a fight with God. Plus, we’ll get the backstory on his unique live show and performing with an orchestra at the Sydney Opera House.

Listen to the session here.
