In The Groove: New music from Lido Pimienta, Yaya Bey, Esperanza Spalding + more

What a musical journey it was today.

There’s a whole hour dedicated to mind melters, kicking off with brand new music from Canadian-Colombian artist Lido Pimienta, Jessica Pratt, Yaya Bey, a surprise release from BADBADNOTGOOD and Esperanza Spalding bridging a musical generational gap with legendary Brazilian singer Milton Nascimento.
