SongWriter Live with W. Kamau Bell and Las Cafeteras

Litquake and KQED Live present a night with SongWriter, a podcast that turns stories into songs (featured guests have included Questlove, Joyce Carol Oates, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Roxane Gay, and Craig Finn of The Hold Steady).

This event features live storytelling by Emmy- and Peabody-winning television host and producer, comedian and bestselling author W. Kamau Bell, which will be transformed into original music by the Chicano band Las Cafeteras. Together with SongWriter host Ben Arthur and social psychologist Shira Gabriel, they craft an evening about identity, home and collective effervescence through a thrilling exchange of story, ideas and music.

This SongWriter event is made possible by a grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation.
