World Cafe Playlist for 07/12/2021

Rostam joins host Stephen Kallao

Former Vampire Weekend member Rostam is back with his second solo album. It’s called Changephobia, but in fact, the record is about embracing change. The title – and Rostam’s new experimentation with jazz – were inspired by a single conversation he had on a park bench with a stranger. We’ll find out what advice the stranger shared, plus, Rostam talks about his work as a producer and performs some of the new songs, live.
