Culture Corner: Tom Tom Club joins host Raina Douris

40 years ago, Tom Tom Club released their debut self-titled album. On a new edition of Culture Corner, World Cafe correspondent John Morrison will talk about how Tom Tom Club began as a Talking Heads side project, and how their music lives on, thanks, in part, to being sampled by some big names. That’s next time on World Cafe.
